Émilie Mondor

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Émilie Mondor (April 29, 1981– September 9, 2006) was a Canadian Olympic athlete.

She was born in Mascouche, Quebec in 1981. Mondor studied at McGill University, later moving to Simon Fraser University to study and train.

She finished twelfth in 5000 metres at the 2003 World Championships in Athletics, eighth in the long race at the 2004 IAAF World Cross Country Championships and seventeenth overall in the 5000 m at the 2004 Summer Olympics.

Mondor was unable to compete for much of 2005 and 2006 due to a rare medical condition affecting the strength of her bones. After drug treatments for the condition, she placed second in a 10 kilometre road race held in Toronto on May 7, 2006.

She died in a car accident on Ontario Highway 417 near Hawkesbury, Ontario.
