Du 6 au 15 mars, l\u2019Italie accueillera les Jeux paralympiques d\u2019hiver de Milan-Cortina, un rendez-vous mondial o\u00f9 Ha\u00efti pourrait \u00e9crire une page in\u00e9dite de son histoire sportive. Au centre de cette ambition : Ralf \u00c9tienne, skieur paralympique d\u00e9termin\u00e9 \u00e0 devenir le premier repr\u00e9sentant ha\u00eftien \u00e0 participer \u00e0 des Jeux paralympiques d\u2019hiver.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Un parcours marqu\u00e9 par la r\u00e9silience<\/p>\n N\u00e9 \u00e0 Mirago\u00e2ne le 26 juin 1989, Ralf \u00c9tienne est un survivant du s\u00e9isme du 12 janvier 2010, catastrophe qui lui a co\u00fbt\u00e9 sa jambe gauche. Loin de se laisser d\u00e9finir par cette \u00e9preuve, il a choisi de transformer son handicap en force.<\/p>\n Engag\u00e9 en cat\u00e9gorie LW2 (ski debout pour athl\u00e8tes pr\u00e9sentant un handicap d\u2019un membre inf\u00e9rieur), il s\u2019entra\u00eene avec rigueur depuis deux ans. Sa qualification, obtenue gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 ses propres moyens financiers, t\u00e9moigne d\u2019un engagement personnel exceptionnel et d\u2019une d\u00e9termination sans faille.<\/p>\n Un r\u00eave suspendu \u00e0 un soutien financier<\/p>\n Malgr\u00e9 cette qualification historique, la participation de la d\u00e9l\u00e9gation ha\u00eftienne reste incertaine. Selon Roadforby Milort, pr\u00e9sident du Comit\u00e9 national paralympique ha\u00eftien (CNP-Ha\u00efti), d\u2019importants obstacles financiers persistent : billets d\u2019avion non achet\u00e9s, \u00e9quipements incomplets, contrat non finalis\u00e9 avec l\u2019\u00e9quipe technique suisse, faute de ressources suffisantes.<\/p>\n Le budget global n\u00e9cessaire s\u2019\u00e9l\u00e8ve \u00e0 150 000 dollars am\u00e9ricains. Dans l\u2019attente d\u2019un appui concret de l\u2019\u00c9tat et du secteur priv\u00e9, le CNP-Ha\u00efti a lanc\u00e9 une campagne de financement participatif via sa page Facebook \u00ab Paralympique d\u2019Ha\u00efti \u00bb.<\/p>\n Un symbole pour toute une nation<\/p>\n Au-del\u00e0 de l\u2019aspect comp\u00e9titif, la pr\u00e9sence de Ralf \u00c9tienne \u00e0 Milan-Cortina repr\u00e9senterait bien plus qu\u2019une participation sportive. Elle constituerait un signal fort en faveur de l\u2019inclusion des personnes en situation de handicap en Ha\u00efti et une source d\u2019inspiration pour toute une g\u00e9n\u00e9ration.<\/p>\n Soutenir Ralf \u00c9tienne, c\u2019est soutenir une vision moderne et solidaire du sport ha\u00eftien. C\u2019est permettre \u00e0 un homme, forg\u00e9 par l\u2019\u00e9preuve et anim\u00e9 par la passion, de porter haut les couleurs nationales sur la sc\u00e8ne paralympique mondiale.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Du 6 au 15 mars, l\u2019Italie accueillera les Jeux paralympiques d\u2019hiver de Milan-Cortina, un rendez-vous mondial o\u00f9 Ha\u00efti pourrait \u00e9crire une page in\u00e9dite de son histoire sportive.
