Faustin Butéra

Faustin Butéra (born 20 September 1955) is a Rwandan sprinter. He competed in the men's 400 metres and 400 metres hurdles at the 1984 Summer Olympics.

Butéra won his first international medal at the 1978 Central African Athletics Championships in Libreville, Gabon, where he won gold in the 800 m in 1:55.5 minutes. In 1979, he set his personal best 400 m hurdles time of 53.7 seconds, which despite being faster than the Rwandan record was not ratified due to the hand timing method used. On 4 August, he returned in the 400 m, running 51.41 seconds for 8th in his heat.

Three years later at the 1987 Central African Games, Butéra entered again in the 400 m hurdles. He won the silver medal behind Jean-Pierre Abossolo-Ze, running 54.0 seconds. His time was again faster than his own national record, but it was not ratified due to the hand timing method used.
