Carmen Valero Omedes (4 October 1955 – 2 January 2024) was a Spanish middle-distance runner, who was best known for representing her native country at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal.[1] Although eliminated in the heats of the 800[4] and the 1500 metres,[5] Valero was the only woman in the Spanish track and field squad for the Montreal Games,[6] and became the first female athlete to ever represent the country in those sports at the Summer Olympic Games.[3][7][8]
Valero won two consecutive women's races at the IAAF World Cross Country Championships in 1976 and 1977,[7][8][9] while also winning the bronze medal at the same competition in 1975.[3][10]
