From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Haiti made its first official appearance at the Olympic Games at the 1924 Summer Olympics in Paris. However, some sources consider Léon Thiércelin, a fencer who competed in the 1900 Summer Olympics, of Haitian nationality, and therefore, Haiti's first Olympic competitor. The 1924 games also marked the first Haitian Olympic medal, when the seven members of Haiti's shooting team took third place in the free rifle competition. The next games, in 1928, saw another medal for Haiti; Silvio Cator took the silver in men's long jump. While Haiti has participated in several Olympic games since 1928, no other medals have been won. Haiti has never competed in the Winter Olympics.
