Amal al-Roumi

Amal Al-Roumi (; born 22 August 1992) is a Kuwaiti middle-distance runner. She was the first Kuwaiti runner to compete in the women's 800 metres at the Olympics, which she did at the 2024 Olympics. Al-Roumi won medals at the GCC Women's Games, GCC Games, and West Asian Games throughout her career, setting Kuwaiti national records in the 1500 metres, 3000 metres, and 5000 metres.

Al-Roumi was seeded in the first quarter-final 800 m heat at the Olympics. She ran 2:11.35 to finish 8th and did not advance. In the repechage round, she ran 2:12.13 to place 8th again and did not advance to the semi-finals. Al-Roumi criticized inadequate air conditioning and poor quality food at the Games.

At the 2025 Asian Athletics Championships, Al-Roumi was 13th in the 1500 m and did not make the 800 m finals. In Kuwait, she felt that her potential was underestimated because of her gender. Men would refuse to train with her due to stereotypes about women in Kuwait being spoiled or incapable.
