Noureddine Ould Ménira

Noureddine Ould Ménira (; born 6 May 1968) is a Mauritanian Olympic sprinter.

Biography Ménira competed in two Summer Olympics and one World Championship, breaking the Mauritanian national record several times during his career.

At the 1993 World Championships in Athletics, Ménira competed in the 100 metres, running 10.96 seconds to place 8th in his heat.

Ménira set his 100 m personal best of 10.4 seconds in 1994.

In 1995, Ménira competed at the West and North African Athletics Championships in Dakar, Senegal, where he qualified for the 200 metres finals.

Ménira was said to have been given resources by the International Olympic Committee, but he did not receive them from his national committee after several years. He was officially designated as the Mauritanian flag-bearer at the 1996 Summer Olympics Parade of Nations, but he claims he never actually got to hold the flag, as it was given to another person. American official Evelyn Marshall encouraged Ménira to file a complaint against his national governing body to address the issues, but he declined to take action.
