8 of the Best Memes From This Year's Olympics

Usain Bolt is one of the biggest joys of the Olympic Games, and this year is no exception: his smile while crossing the finish line of the 100m dash led to a new meme. Many even think this photo is the only meme with enough emotion to rival Crying Jordan.

Lucky for us, Michael Phelps is no exception to memes. His infamous mean mugging face before the men's 200m butterfly definitely shows you what's going on in his head.

Laurie Hernandez, the breakout star of the 2016 Olympics, is a reminder that if you put your mind to it, you can truly do anything — especially if you whisper it to yourself first.

Katie Ledecky (literally) blew all previous records out of the water and made history this Summer. Most of the footage and infographics that have come out of her record-breaking race, like the shot that looks like she is swimming alone, show that nobody is going to forget her any time soon.

The Tongan flag bearer, Pita Nikolas Taufatofua, rightfully captured our minds and souls as he walked in with the Tongan flag. Don't believe us? Just watch.

It's not every day you're told that you did better than you thought — and it's even rarer that it gets caught on camera in all of its earnest and brilliant glory. That's what happened to Fu Yuanhui, who was told during an interview that she won a medal (and our hearts).

Meet the teammate you wish you had.

It's not the way the Olympics were meant to be watched, but it's everything we've been thinking about since the Games started.
