The President of the Republic expressed him the pride and recognition of all Haitians to have flown so high the national bicolor and bring the country in the final. "Haiti is with you until the final victory and wish you success," declared the President Martelly. The President of the Republic told Samyr, that he would be honored to receive all members of the delegation at the National Palace. He also promised to see how, the Haitian government could now accompany the athletes. "In addition to being examples for Haitian youth, I want these athletes become of models for the new generation." The athlete Laine, graduated in 2006 from Harvard University and holder of a Masters in Law at Georgetown University, finished 6th of 13 of group A and 10 of 26 overall with a performance of 16.81 meters .
