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]

[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.
