A pre-game show was held featuring younger athletes from the CARIFTA games and from around the world.
In one of the races a team was identified as Haiti-Bahamas All Star team.
In the statement from the b three a’s it explained that team Haiti was invited to compete at the pre-game show; however, they could not attend.
The statement said a club requested that members of his club make up a team to represent Haiti which was approved under the following conditions:
One, that the athletes be of Haitian nationality; two – the team seek sanctioning from the Haitian Athletic Federation to be represented under the Haitian flag and three – failure to meet the requirement of an all-Haitian member team should be named an “unattached” team.
The federation explained that at no time did they agree to a team being named a Haitian-Bahamas All-Star team.

Jonquel Jones is ready to return to the court for her New York Liberty.
She will make her preseason debut against the Chicago Sky at the Wintrust arena on Tuesday.
JJ started off last season slowly, deferring to teammates Sabrina Ionescu and Brianna Stewart as she averaged 11 points and 8 rebounds per game.
