Athletic career
In Ouédraogo's early career she concentrated on the 100 m hurdles, and participated in the 2000 World Junior Championships. She set a national record of 13.87 seconds for Burkina Faso, the country she represented until 2000.[3] Her personal best time while competing for Belgium is 13.34 seconds, achieved in August 2003 in Jambes. Her Burkinabé national record was surpassed by Béatrice Kamboulé in 2007.[4]
Ouédraogo finished sixth in the 4 x 100 metres relay at the 2004 Summer Olympics with teammates Katleen De Caluwé, Lien Huyghebaert and Kim Gevaert. Ouédraogo also won the bronze medal at the 2005 Summer Universiade. At the 2007 World Championships she won a bronze medal in the 4x100 m relay with teammates Olivia Borlée, Hanna Mariën and Kim Gevaert, setting another national record.
Ouédraogo represented Belgium at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. She competed at the 4 x 100 m relay together with Gevaert, Mariën and Borlée. In their first-round heat they placed first in front of Great Britain, Brazil and Nigeria. Their time of 42.92 seconds was the third time overall out of sixteen participating nations. In the finals they finished in second place behind Russia in a national record time of 42.54 seconds,[1] though after re-testing samples in 2016, Yuliya Chermoshanskaya's tests revealed two illegal substances. The Russian team was disqualified for doping, and the Belgian's team silver medal was upgraded to a gold medal.[5]
She qualified for the semi-finals of the 400 m hurdles at the 2012 Summer Olympics.
Miscellaneous
Ouédraogo retired from athletics in 2012 with the Memorial Van Damme as her last event. She is married to cartoon artist Jeroom.
