There’s an image already being considered the iconic moment of the Rio Games. It shows Usain Bolt looking to the side with a big grin on his face, leaving his blurry competitors behind as he goes on to win the semifinal for the 100-meter dash before winning a record third Olympic gold medal in the event. The shot has gone viral and set off a bevy of memes.

The only problem: who took it? There are actually two very similar photos of the breathtaking moment that so beautifully highlighted the emotion of Bolt’s win.

Two photographers, Getty Images’ Cameron Spencer and Reuters’ Kai Pfaffenbach, were standing side-by-side when Bolt glanced to his left and both captured it. Both photos are getting a lot of praise and being shared widely.

The two photographers took their photos within milliseconds of each other and from nearly identical positions on the track’s infield. They both used 70-200mm zoom lenses.

Have your say: Which of the two photos do you like better?

The first one with the fading shoes is my favourite. He captured the motion.

The first one.
