Usain Bolt Could Only Laugh As Andre De Grasse Tried To Pass Him

It was only a semi-final for the mens 200-meter dash, but Canadas Andre De Grasse tried to do something many mere mortals wouldnt even dream of: He tried to pass Usain Bolt.While the sprinter ultimately snagged second placewith a career bestof 19.80 seconds to advance to the final on Friday, the move didnt go unnoticed by the Jamaican legend, whos face spread into a wide grin and prompted a friendly finger wag as he crossed the finish line with the fastest time of the night, a zippy 19.78.Bolt holds the current world record in the event ' a 19.19 set in 2009 ' and he won the gold medal during the last Olympiad in Beijing. The 29-year-old also snagged his 7th career Olympic gold in the mens 100-meter earlier this week, becoming the first athlete ever to win the event at three consecutive games. De Grasse won the bronze in that same race.Now that Bolt has a competitor just a few hundredths of a second on his heels, who knows what records will fall on Friday. But the photos on Wednesday sure were good. -- This feed and its contents are the property of The Huffington Post, and use is subject to our terms.
