Sunday, the XXII Central American and Caribbean Games ended in Veracruz, Mexico. Too much waiting, too much hope, our Haitian athletes, for lack of a good quality of preparation, had, unless exceptions, take the last or second last place when they arrived to qualify...

Nevertheless Haiti returns with 3 bronze medals ranking in the table of the number of medals 20th out of 26 [25th out of 26 in the ranking by gold]. Linouse Desravine thanks to her talent won a bronze medal in Judo (cat. 52kg). In weightlifting, Luciano Edouar Joseph (helped and trained by the Dominican Republic) in clean and jerk (Cat. 56 kg) has obtained the bronze medal and in snatching a second bronze medal https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-12555-haiti-sports-already-3-medals-for-haiti-at-the-xxii-central-american-and-caribbean-games.html
