Summer Olympics appearances (overview) | |
Haiti competed at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. Originally scheduled to take place from 24 July to 9 August 2020, the Games were postponed to 23 July to 8 August 2021, because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] It was the nation's seventeenth appearance at the Summer Olympics since its debut in 1900.
The early days at the Olympics was nearly overshadowed by the assassination of Jovenel Moïse, the country's last president two weeks earlier, allowing Haitian athletes to express their grief.
