Zeïna Sahelí (born September 13, 1983) is a Senegalese former swimmer, who specialized in sprint freestyle events.[1] Saheli competed for Senegal in the women's 100 m freestyle at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. She received a ticket from FINA, under a Universality program, in an entry time of 1:07.33.[2] She challenged seven other swimmers in heat one, including 15-year-olds Maria Awori of Kenya Nathalie Lee Baw of Mauritius. Storming from sixth at the final turn, Saheli held off a sprint battle from Uganda's Supra Singhal to hit the wall by 0.78 seconds in 1:07.37. Saheli failed to advance into the semifinals, as she placed fifty-first overall in the prelims.[3][4][5]
