Usain Bolt easily qualified for the 100-meter final at the Rio Olympics on Sunday.

Bolt, who is the heavy favorite to again win gold at Rio, only seemed to be taking the semi-final half-seriously, too.

Halfway through the sprint, he pulled away from the pack, and as he neared the finish line, checked his right and left to ensure he was in first.

That's when he gave a big smile to the cameras. Getty's Cameron Spencer caught the moment.

He even appeared to have some fun with Canada's Andre De Grasse afterward.

Bolt's 9.86 time was the fastest of the season. And he looked like he was celebrating before he even finished the race.

He's peaking at the right time.
