Highlights
The first Haitians to take part in the Olympic Games were fencers Leo THIERCELIN and Andre CORVINGTON at the Paris 1900 Olympic Games.
A Haitian team competed officially at the Paris 1924 Games and took bronze in the team free rifle competition.
Haiti's first individual medal went to Silvio CATOR, who took the silver in the men's long jump at the Amsterdam 1928 Olympic Games.
It was also the last medal won by a Haitian. Sprinter Mireille JOSEPH was Haiti's first female competitor when she ran the 100m at the Munich 1972 Olympic Games.
Distance runner Dieudonne LAMOTHE became the first Haitian to compete in four Olympic Games. He competed over 5000m in 1976 and subsequently completed the marathon in 1984, 1988 and 1992.
His best finish was 20th in 1988. Dudley DORIVAL finished seventh in the men's 110m hurdles final at the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games.
