on Day 9 of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games at the Olympic Stadium on August 14, 2016 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt, otherwise known as the Fastest Man in the World, will race for a gold medal tonight. If his semi-final and preliminary performances are any indication, however, he’s a lock and he knows it.
The only thing faster than Bolt around the track has been the dozens and dozens of photographers snapping his every step, and tonight that meant his every smile as he realized he was cruising in first and could jog across the line.
All eyes (and cameras) on @usainbolt. ⚡

God, it must be so damn frustrating to be his opponents. You’ve worked SO HARD for four years, you’ve seen him get older, you think “maybe, maybe this year is my chance…” and then WHOOOOOSH!!!!
Imagine working so hard to be at the #Olympics just to lose against a smiling Usain Bolt, lmao. #Rio2016 pic.twitter.com/dLKhI1alto

If you ARE one of his opponents, may I suggest just laughing? Sometimes you just have to understand that it’s not your fault you were born within a few years of Bolt, just like we all tried to appreciate last winter that we were lucky enough to be alive when David Bowie was.
RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL - AUGUST 14: Usain Bolt of Jamaica and Andre De Grasse of Canada compete in the Men
American sprinter Justin Gatlin is rumored to have the best chance at topping Bolt, but that might be more of a prayer. Is there anyone that can?
In my opinion, there's only one man that could beat Usain Bolt in the 100m dash #Rio2016 pic.twitter.com/axxECNsQiL

Normal person: "Wow, how can Usain Bolt run so fast?"

Really, the most surprising thing so far is that nobody has Michael Jord–ah, there it is.
