On January 4th, a few weeks before the opening ceremony, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) ruled that the use of Toussaint Louverture's image violated its regulations prohibiting any political propaganda on uniforms. Haiti was therefore forced to completely redesign its uniform. The revolutionary leader and the snake were removed from the design, but the red horse and the lush tropical landscape were retained. https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-46798-haiti-news-zapping.html

He completed the course in 56:52.8, compared to a time of 46:11.0 achieved by the winner of this event, Norwegian Johannes Høsflot Klaebo.
