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's participation in the Paralympics is overseen by the Comité National Paralympique d'Haïti.[1]
