Team USA has been behind some of the most historic moments at this year’s Olympics (Exhibit A and Exhibit B, among many). But the celebrations shouldn’t stop there: brothers and sisters across the globe have been doing the same. Enter Sunday’s incredible win from Usain Bolt of Jamaica became the first sprinter to win three straight Olympic 100-meter titles. And of course, the Internet took note in their own special way.
