It's the ultimate Olympic bromance. The Jamaican seven-time gold medalist and the Canadian at his first Olympics.

We're talking about Usain Bolt and Andre De Grasse, exchanging smiles as they casually sprint toward the 200-metre finish line in Rio just like they were strolling in a park.

It all happened in Wednesday's semi-final, with Bolt looking to win his third triple batch of Olympic gold medals.

"He was supposed to slow down. I said, 'What are you doing, it's a semi-final?' But I think he wanted to push me. I was a bit lazy but I got round," said Bolt. "I saw that he got a national record actually, so he means business."

Obviously Twitter loved the bromance:
