Usain Bolt-Andre De Grasse bromance continues in 200m semifinal
You might assume two of the fastest sprinters in the world would take the Olympic 200-metre semifinal seriously — and for the first 175 metres, Usain Bolt and Andre De Grasse did just that.
But with the rest of the field well behind them, the two looked more like best buds frolicking in the field than they did world class sprinters for the last 25 metres.
The burgeoning bromance between Canada's nascent superstar and the greatest sprinter in the history of the Games went to another level on Wednesday night, and Twitter couldn't seem to get enough of it.
