The bromance is real.We witnessed one of the greatest moments of the Rio Olympics on Wednesday night between two competitors who appear to be forging a budding relationship.The world's fastest man, Usain Bolt, and up-and-coming sprinter Andre De Grasse have been making nice during the Olympics, which was first evident during their 100-meter race this past weekend. The two embraced after Bolt topped De Grasse (who captured the bronze) to win the 100 meter for the third consecutive time. Bolt, according to De Grasse, even told the 21-year-old Canadian that he believed he was the 'next one.'
