| Summer Olympics appearances (overview) | |
Haiti competed at the 1924 Summer Olympics in Paris, France. These Games were held from 4 May to 27 July 1924. The country's participation in Paris marked its second appearance at the Summer Olympics since its debut in 1900.
The delegation was composed of ten people, with eight competitors, three in athletics and five in shooting, and two officials: athletics delegate V. Pasquet and secretary-general of the Comité Olympique Haïtien, Henec Dorsinville. Three other athletes: Louis Déjoie in athletics, and L. H. Clermont and C. Dupre in shooting, were planned to join the rest of the athletes but did not start in their competitions. The team was determined through different national competitions, with the athletics team being funded by the government of Haiti and their own money, while the shooting team was funded by a percentage of the nation's gendarmes' salaries.
The shooting team composed of Ludovic Augustin, Ludovic Valborge, Destin Destine, Astrel Rolland, and Eloi Metullus, led by Douglas C. McDougal of the United States, won the bronze medal in the men's team free rifle event. Their win earned the nation's first medal at any of the Olympic Games.
