Usain Bolt won his third consecutive gold medal in the 100 meters on Sunday night. He’s the first person ever to do that.
5 times Usain Bolt stunted on the competition before the race was even over
This is what it’s like to run against Usain Bolt and honestly, it looks terrible.

That’s cool for Usain Bolt, but for everyone else the struggle of running with the world’s fastest man is so rough.

5. He didn’t even have the heart to make it look like he was trying.
Justin Gatlin looks like he gave everything he had.

6. He tweeted so soon after crossing the finish line I’m counting it as before the end of the race for the purposes of this story.

This for you my people
So either (A) Usain Bolt planned for someone on his team to tweet this when he won (B) He ran the 100m with his phone in his pocket (C) He scheduled a tweet to drop about when he figured the race was over. Honestly, any of these options is hilarious and baller.
Bonus! Usain Bolt stole a mascot!
