Swimming career

Nikiema was victorious at the Burkina Faso national swimming championships in July 2008, beating Fabienne Ouattara.[2]

She was invited by FINA to compete as a lone female swimmer for Burkina Faso in the 50 m freestyle at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China.[3] Nikiema competed in the second heat of the competition, finishing in sixth place.[4] Her time of 34.98 seconds set a new national record, having promised to beat her own record prior to the race taking place.[5] She had finished ahead of Elsie Uwamahoro of Burundi (36.86 seconds) and Niger's Mariama Souley Bana (40.83 seconds). The heat was won by Zakia Nassar from Palestine, with a time of 31.97 seconds.[4]
