Taekwondo: Haiti secures three tickets for the Santo Domingo 2026 Games

The Juan Pablo Duarte Olympic Center hosted taekwondo qualifications this Thursday, April 9, for the Central American and Caribbean Games. In a competitive event, the Haitian delegation managed to distinguish itself with three athletes qualified out of the eight entered, despite two last-minute withdrawals from the ten initially registered.The Haitian performance is highlighted by the direct qualification of Ava Soon Lee, number one in the Pan-American zone, who was exempted from fighting due to her ranking. On the fighting areas, Jessica Lynn Lee confirmed expectations by winning decisively against the Mexican Karla with a score of 2 rounds to 0 (11-0, 7-6). A controlled performance that logically opens the doors to regional competition for her. Sean Jaylen Laloan completes the trio of qualifiers, consolidating an overall encouraging campaign for Haiti.
