RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Usain Bolt is known of his happy-go-lucky personality and apparently couldn’t contain himself from giving his rivals a mid-race grin as he sprinted toward the finish line ahead of the pack during the 100-meter dash semifinals Sunday night.

One Twitter user imagined Bolt saying, “Had you shook with that slow start, didn’t I?” Another said it illustrated the feeling “when you write a provocative tweet and then sign off.”
Bolt went on to win gold in the 100-meter for the third straight time in the Olympics on Sunday. He competes in the 200-meter event beginning Tuesday.
