Background
editThe 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest, Hungary, were held from 19 to 27 August 2023. The Championships were held at the National Athletics Centre.[1] To qualify for the World Championships, athletes had to reach an entry standard (e.g. time or distance), place in a specific position at select competitions, be a wild card entry, or qualify through their World Athletics Ranking at the end of the qualification period.[2]
As Haiti did not meet any of the four standards, they could send either one male or one female athlete in one event of the Championships who has not yet qualified.[2] The Haitian Amateur Athletic Federation selected hurdler Yves Cherubin who held a personal best of 13.60 seconds and was ranked 112th in the world at the time of his selection for the Championships.[3] This was Cherubin's first appearance for Haiti at the World Athletics Championships.[4] In the lead-up and during the World Athletics Championships, Joey Scott was the head coach for Haiti.[5]
