RIO DE JANEIRO—In his victory lap of the Olympic Stadium, Usain Bolt got down on his knees and kissed the track. The world championships in London next summer, you’ve said, but probably only the 200 — where you knocked down Olympic gold No. De Grasse put everything he had left in Rio straining for the finish, veins bulging, his neck out-stretched. He’d asserted all week, through the heats and the semis, that his ambition was to set a new 200 record at his favorite distance, to break through the 19.00 barrier. You know, that purported “bromance” between brash De Grasse and mugging Bolt was always more invention and theatrical pantomime than genuine.
