Rani Rosius (born 25 April 2000) is a Belgian sprinter.[1]

Career

2020

At just 21 years of age, Rosius tied the second-best Belgian time ever on the 100 metres event, with a time of 11.39. Olivia Borlée ran the same time in 2007, while only Kim Gevaert has ever run faster, still holding the Belgian record at 11.04.[2]

2023

Selected for the 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest, she qualified for the semi-final of the 100 metres.[3]

2024

Early 2024 she reached the finals and finished 6th in the women's 60 metres at the 2024 World Athletics Indoor Championships in Glasgow.[4] Later that year, she ran as part of the Belgian 4 × 100 m relay team at the 2024 World Relays Championships in Nassau, Bahamas that failed to qualify directly for the 2024 Summer Olympics.[5] She represented Belgium at the 2024 European Athletics Championships in Rome in June 2024.[6] Finishing 1st in her round 1 heat of the women's 100 metres, she advanced directly to the semi-finals where she finished 5th in her semi-final, not advancing to the final.[7] She was also part of the Belgian 4 × 100 m relay team which qualified for the final and finished 6th.[8] Having qualified for the women's 100 metres at the 2024 Summer Olympic Games via the World Athletics Rankings,[9] she finished 4th in her round 1 heat posting a PB of 11.10s that allowed her to progress to the semi-finals as fastest athlete not directly qualified.[10] She finished 8th in her semi-final.[11] She also ran in the women's 4 × 100 metres relay, the Belgian team also having qualified for the 2024 Summer Olympic Games via the World Athletics Rankings.[12] The team was however disqualified in round 1 when Elise Mehuys passed the baton to Delphine Nkansa outside the takeover zone.[13][14]

2025

In March 2025, she broke Kim Gevaert's national record on the 60 m dash that had stood since 2007 in the semi-finals of the women's 60 metres at the 2025 European Athletics Indoor Championships in Apeldoorn, The Netherlands.[15] She competed at the 2025 World Athletics Relays in China in the Women's 4 × 100 metres relay in May 2025.[16]
