Usain Bolt tends to be in a class of his own on the track, but he had a little company during Wednesday night’s 200m semifinal race.
With Bolt cruising to the finish line, Canadian Andre De Grasse, the bronze medalist in the 100m, decided to push the Jamaican to try and take the race.
Bolt still won by a margin of 0.02, but the competitive spirit and camaraderie was on full display. Twitter certainly took note of the two exchanging looks and smiles as they crossed the finish line.
The bromance continues. All smiles between Bolt and De Grasse as they cross the finish line #DeBolt https://t.co/vtHo2cGKHv

Seriously De Grasse and Bolt should have just held hands crossing the line.

Bolt & De Grasse chattin' about a post-race pint while the rest of the OLYMPIANS are meters behind running the race of their lives.
