Haiti at the Paralympics
Sporting event delegation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Haiti first participated in the Paralympic Games in 2008, sending a single athlete, Nephtalie Jean-Louis, to compete in powerlifting.[1] Due to unspecified "problems with her weight", however, Jean-Louis was ultimately unable to compete and was listed as a non-starter in her event.[2]
Thus, it was only at the 2012 Summer Paralympics in London that Haitian athletes competed for the first time. The country was represented by two athletes: Nephtalie Jean-Louis, in the shot put and javelin rather than in powerlifting; and Josue Cajuste, also in the shot put and javelin.[2]
Haiti will make its Winter Paralympic debut at the 2026 games in Milan and Cortina, Italy, with para alpine skiing athlete Ralf Etienne qualifying for the Men's Giant Slalom Standing competition.[3]
Haiti's participation in the Paralympics is overseen by the Comité National Paralympique d'Haïti.[1]
