Salome Nyirarukundo

Salome Nyirarukundo (born 20 December 1997) is a Rwandan long-distance runner.

She competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, in the women's 10,000 metres, finishing in 27th place with a time of 32:07.80.

Then, she made two other victories in the 10k, that of La Baie and that of Canada Road Races Day.

After that, she participated in the Rimouski Marathon; the conditions were bad and Nyirarukundo started at a conservative pace to win (1:25 to half).

Due to the bad conditions, no woman could overtake her and she won the race for the second time in a row.
