Well, folks, it looks like weβve finally found our favorite meme from this yearβs Olympic Games.
In an effort to beat out the United Statesβ Allyson Felix in the womenβs 400-meter, Shaunae Miller of the Bahamas threw herself over the finish line. The effort paid off, and she snagged the gold medal.

Yup, Millerβs dive was not against the rules.
Of course, the Internet has responded the only way it knows how to: with memes. Lots of memes. Here are a few of our favorites.
