The world’s fastest man grinned his way over the line, [once again](http://time.com/4451894/2016-rio-olympics-usain-bolt-photo-meme/ "undefined"), Wednesday night in the men’s 200-m semi-finals. But right alongside him, and flashing a big smile back, was Canadian Andre De Grasse. De Grasse closed in on Bolt towards the end of the race and the two were seen smiling at each other up to and well after crossing the finish line. The Jamaican ran 19.78 seconds, with Degrasse just 0.02 seconds behind, setting a Canadian record of 19.80\. The men’s 200-m final takes place on Thursday. Twitter, of course, blew up over this new Olympic bromance. > [](https://twitter.com/NBCSports/status/766083227010424832) > [](https://twitter.com/nick%5Fpants/status/766085058633486336) > [](https://twitter.com/FinesseGodMike/status/766082725577097216) > [](https://twitter.com/thecultureofme/status/766090206416080897) > [](https://twitter.com/giannyboy/status/766091253050114048) > [](https://twitter.com/KristiColleen/status/766080810696974336) > [](https://twitter.com/thecleversheep/status/766081049734635520) > [](https://twitter.com/nieuwy09/status/766093681233362944) > [](https://twitter.com/SpiderDarrell/status/766088648425103360) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4456975/2016-rio-olympics-usain-bolt-de-grasse-smile/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4456975/2016-rio-olympics-usain-bolt-de-grasse-smile/"},"headline":"Twitter Goes Wild Over Usain Bolt and Andre De Grasse's Olympic Bromance","datePublished":"2016-08-18T04:01:19.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-23T00:03:09.310Z","description":"De Grasse and Bolt flashed each other grins as they crossed the line in the 200-m semifinals","url":"https://time.com/4456975/2016-rio-olympics-usain-bolt-de-grasse-smile/","keywords":["olympics","twitter"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt16845839f562c3f3/6988a2c9e20a87aa06a92134/gettyimages-591631924.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Amanda Calvo","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/amanda-calvo/"}],"articleSection":"Sports","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt16845839f562c3f3/6988a2c9e20a87aa06a92134/gettyimages-591631924.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"ATHLETICS-OLY-2016-RIO","caption":"ATHLETICS-OLY-2016-RIO","creditText":"Franck Fife—AFP/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/sports/","name":"Sports"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/olympics/","name":"olympics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4456975/2016-rio-olympics-usain-bolt-de-grasse-smile/","name":"Twitter Goes Wild Over Usain Bolt and Andre De Grasse's Olympic Bromance"}}]}] ```
