Ene Franca Idoko (actually Ene Francisca Idoko ; born June 15, 1985 ) is a Nigerian athlete who specializes in the 100-meter run .

At the World Indoor Athletics Championships in Valencia in 2008 , she finished seventh in the 60-meter run in a time of 7.30 s, directly behind her compatriot Oludamola Osayomi .

She celebrated her greatest success so far by winning the bronze medal in the 4 x 100 meter relay at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing . The Nigerian sprint relay had originally not qualified for the competition and could only participate because Finland withdrew its relay at short notice. Idoko also started in Beijing in the 100-meter run, but retired with a time of 11.66 s in the quarter-finals. On August 17, 2016, the Russian runners Julia Schermoschanskaja , Evgenia Polyakowa , Alexandra Fedoriwa and Julia Guschtschina were stripped of their 2008 gold medal in the 4 x 100 meter relay because of doping. The medals of Belgium (now gold), Nigeria (now silver) and Brazil (now bronze) have been gradually adjusted.

Ene Franca Idoko is 1.50 m tall and has a competition weight of 64 kg. She starts for the ART 77/90 Düsseldorf and is trained by Frank Dukat.
