Haiti’s Jeffrey Julmis unfortunately had the most embarrassing moment in the 2016 Rio Olympics. It was during the men’s 110-meter hurdle semifinals.
Julmis posted a 13.66 in the first round to advance to the semis.
Prior to the start of the race, he exuded all the confidence in the world, tappping his wrist in front of a camera to signify it was his time and pointing to the heavens. Unfortunately, his confidence didn’t turn out a good race.
Jumlis got off the blocks clean in his 110m hurdles race, but crashed into the first hurdle, ending his chance at advancing. He did, however, get up and finish the race despite being disqualified, to the applause of the spectators on hand.
