Moise Joseph to Run the 800 m Event in the 30th Olympiad

Competing for the Gold in Field and Track is Moïse Joseph, who will run in the 800 m Event, which requires a great deal of stamina, pacing, and knowing when to pour on the juice for the last few meters.

Moise Joseph's already-qualified Haitian colleague, Linouse Desravines, will compete in Judo in the 52 kg. The other three athletes will be competing in Field and Track Events. Marleine Wesh will run in the 400 m; Jeffrey Julmis in the 110 m/Hurdles; and Samyr Laine will compete in the Triple Jump Event.

The remaining four Haiti representatives in Field and Track are still moving through qualifying rounds: Roody Monrose is working hard to qualify for both 100 and 200 m Events; Josué Louis, the Decathlon; Jonathan Juin, the 400 m/Hurdles; and Pascale Delaunay, the Triple Jump Event.

Currently, the Haiti athletes are in France training and competing in the European qualifying rounds, in preparation for their chance to compete in London, announced a press release from the directorate of Alain Jean Pierre, President of the Haitian Federation of Amateur Athletics (FAA). Watching over the Haitian athletes is Franco-American coach Emmanuel Jackson.
Haiti athletes in the taekwondo boxing, football, and weightlifting have not passed the qualifying rounds to compete in the 2012 Olympics.
