Rio 2016: These Usain Bolt 'smiling face' memes show why he is immortal

Usain Bolt roared into Olympic history today, capturing an unprecedented third consecutive 100m crown to confirm his place in the pantheon of the greatest athletes the world has ever seen. The 29-year-old Jamaican legend, competing in his final Olympics, powered over the line in 9.81sec, vanquishing drug-tainted American rival Justin Gatlin who took silver with Andre De Grasse of Canada claiming bronze.

Gatlin, who had been booed by the Rio crowd as he was introduced, crossed in 9.89sec with De Grasse just behind in 9.91.Bolt galloped away in celebration after a superb win, basking in the adulation of the stadium and even taking selfies with fans during his lap of honour. He then delighted the fans with his traditional "lightning bolt" pose as reggae blasted out of the stadium sound system.

The highlight of the race was however, Bolt's smiling face in the middle of the race. Here are the best memes:
