Haiti first joined the Olympic Games in Paris way back in 1900. Their first Olympic medal came in 1924, also in Paris. A team of seven Haitian shooters won a bronze medal in the free rifle competition. Then, in 1928, Silvio Cator won a silver medal in the men's long jump event.

Even though Haiti has taken part in many Olympic Games since 1928, they haven't won any more medals. Haiti also made its first appearance in the Winter Olympics in 2022.
