'''Francine Niyonsaba''' (born May 5, 1993) is a Burundian [[Sport of athletics|runner]] who specialized in the [[800 metres]] and shifted to longer distances in 2019. She was the [[Athletics at the 2016 Summer Olympics|2016 Rio Olympics]] silver medalist in the women's [[Athletics at the 2016 Summer Olympics – Women's 800 metres|800 metres]]. Her silver medal was the first Olympic medal for Burundi since 1996. Niyonsaba won a silver in the event at the [[2017 World Championships in Athletics|2017 World Championships]].

She is a two-time 800m world indoor champion, having won 800m in [[2016 IAAF World Indoor Championships|2016]] and [[2018 IAAF World Indoor Championships|2018]]. After her move to longer distances, Niyonsaba finished fifth over the [[10,000 metres]] at the [[Athletics at the 2020 Summer Olympics|2020 Tokyo Olympics]]. She holds the [[List of world records in athletics|world record]] in the [[2000 metres]], and seven [[List of Burundian records in athletics|Burundian records]].

In 2019, [[World Athletics]] announced that Niyonsaba would not be allowed to compete under the female classification in events between 400 metres and one mile due to [[Testosterone regulations in women's athletics|its regulations on XY DSD athletes]] with naturally high [[testosterone]] levels.<ref name="Gruling">{{cite web |last1=Lavista |first1=Adrian |title=Semenya, Francine, and Margaret miss Stockholm Diamond League after gender ruling |url=https://regionweek.com/semenya-francine-and-margaret-miss-stockholm-diamond-league-after-gender-ruling/ |website=RegionWeek |date=18 May 2019 |access-date=15 June 2019}}</ref><ref name="WAreg">{{Cite web|title=IAAF publishes briefing notes and Q&A on Female Eligibility Regulations|url=https://www.worldathletics.org/news/press-release/questions-answers-iaaf-female-eligibility-reg|date=2019-05-07|access-date=2021-08-04|website=World Athletics}}</ref>

==Career==
Francine Niyonsaba quickly rose to prominence in 2012 while still a teenager. The first time she set the [[800 metres]] record was in late June 2012 while narrowly winning the [[2012 African Championships in Athletics]] in 1:59.11 in what was only her third competitive race. At that, she improved upon her own previous national record of 2:02.13, set in the qualifying round. In the opening round race, the inexperienced runner had opened up a 30 meters lead the pack.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20120814124910/http://www.iaaf.org/news/newsid%3D65542.html Burundian teen Niyonsaba takes dramatic 800m title as Nigeria top medal table in Porto-Novo – African champs, Day 5]. iaaf.org (2 July 2012). Retrieved on 2016-08-19.</ref> Three weeks later, on July 20, 2012, she improved the record again to 1:58.68 while finishing second at the [[2012 Diamond League]] meeting at [[Herculis]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20120920021908/http://www.diamondleague-monaco.com/en/Program/Overview/800m1/ 800 m]. diamondleague-monaco.com</ref>

During the [[Athletics at the 2012 Summer Olympics|2012 London Olympics]], Niyonsaba reduced her own 800&nbsp;m record to 1:58.67 on 9 August, in the [[Athletics at the 2012 Summer Olympics – Women's 800 metres|semi-final round]]. It was a 0.01 seconds improvement on her previous record. Two days later, she finished seventh (subsequently upgraded to fifth as a result of the doping disqualifications of Russian athletes [[Elena Arzhakova]] and [[Mariya Savinova]]) in the final. Less than a month later, she took the record down to 1:56.59.

In 2016, Niyonsaba won the [[2016 IAAF World Indoor Championships – Women's 800 metres|800 meters]] at the [[2016 IAAF World Indoor Championships]] with a time of 2:00.01. Competing at the [[Athletics at the 2016 Summer Olympics|Summer Olympics]] held in [[Rio de Janeiro]] later that year, she claimed her first Olympic medal, a silver in the women's 800&nbsp;m in a time of 1:56.49, behind [[Caster Semenya]] of South Africa. Niyonsaba finished second in 800 meters seven race series of [[2016 IAAF Diamond League|Diamond League]].<ref>[http://livecache.sportresult.com/node/binaryData/AT_PROD/ZURICH2016/PDF_RE1110040.PDF?h=731DsHDKj8xPTVBIx5BVJL4MApI= IAAF DIAMOND LEAGUE Zürich (SUI) 31 August - 1 September 2016 Results 800m Women]{{dead link|date=January 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} http://zurich.diamondleague.com/. Retrieved by September 1, 2016.</ref> She improved her personal best to 1:56.24 at the [[Herculis]] meet in [[Monaco]].

In 2017, Niyonsaba earned a new personal best and national record at the Monaco Diamond League after winning the 800&nbsp;m there in a time of 1:55.47 on July 21. With this time, she was the world leader heading into the [[2017 World Championships in Athletics]] in London. At the event, she won a silver with a time of 1:55.92. She led throughout the majority of the race, but Caster Semenya used her phenomenal final kick to pass the Burundian on the home stretch once again and win gold.

==World Athletics ruling==
In 2019, it was revealed that Niyonsaba was born with the 46,XY [[karyotype]] and an [[intersex]] condition after her qualification for [[International Association of Athletics Federations|IAAF]] women's competition was affected{{how|date=March 2023}} by the association's new regulations for athletes with [[Testosterone regulations in women's athletics|XY differences of sexual development]], testosterone levels above 5 nmol/L, and androgen sensitivity.<ref name="Gruling" /><ref>{{cite web |title=Executive Summary |url=https://www.tas-cas.org/fileadmin/user_upload/CAS_Executive_Summary__5794_.pdf |website=Court of Arbitration for Sport |access-date=15 June 2019}}</ref> Due to her stress fracture, Niyonsaba missed the 2022 World Athletics Championships in Oregon.
