Luis “Luisito” Pie (Spanish pronunciation: [lwis (lwiˈzito) pje]; born March 4, 1994) is a Dominican taekwondo athlete and Olympic bronze medalist.
He represented his country at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, in the men's 58 kg.[1]
Personal life
Pie was born in Bayaguana, Monte Plata Province, Dominican Republic to José Beltrán, a Haitian man, and Marisol Pie Desquile, a Dominican-born woman of Haitian descent. His mother was born in San José de los Llanos to legal Haitian immigrants, thus, Marisol and her children had no problem with Constitutional Court ruling #168-13.[2][3] Pie's father, a Haitian agricultural labourer, did not take care about him and did not gave him his surname. He was raised by his Dominican step-father Euclides Reyes and his mother.[2][4]
