Jeffrey Michael Julmis (born September 30, 1987) is a Haitian-American hurdler.[1][2] He was born in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, United States.[3] He competed in the 110 m hurdles event at the 2016 Summer Olympics, and performed well enough in his heat to qualify for the semifinals.[4] During the semifinal round, Julmis violently crashed and tumbled over the first hurdle, causing a disqualification.[5] In spite of this, Julmis ran the remainder of the race and received a standing ovation as he left the track.[6]
Before his Olympic debut, Julmis was an All-American hurdler for the Kansas State Wildcats track and field team, placing 4th in the 110 m hurdles at the 2011 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships.[7]
