Television viewers worldwide barely had time to blink before Usain Bolt crossed the finish line during his 100-meter Olympic race Sunday evening.
And photographers barely had time to snap a photo.
But one image of Bolt lit up the internet.
The photo, taken by Cameron Spencer of Getty Images, shows the athlete smiling at the cameras to his left as he passes his competitors.
Twitter users grabbed the photo and ran wild with it:
