Jimmy Gressier (born 4 May 1997) is a French long-distance runner.[2] He won three gold medals in the U23 category at the European Cross Country Championships. He is known for race finish celebrations. At the 2018 edition of the European cross country while in first place at the end of the U23 race he attempted a football player like knee slide but ended up falling flat on his face as he crossed the line. At the 2019 edition of the same race Gressier was so far clear of the other competitors that he walked across the line.
