A Somali sprinter’s ’embarrassing’ 22-second 100m run has drawn a government apology after her performance sparked an online backlash.
Nasra Abubakar Ali’s showing at a university games competition in the Chinese city of Chengdu saw her finish some 10 seconds behind the race’s winner, who recorded a time of 11.58 seconds.
Footage of the race showed Ms Abubakar Ali being left behind by competitors almost as soon as the starting gun was fired.
Within six seconds, she was trailing to such an extent that she disappeared from the camera frame as the other athletes – led by a Brazilian contestant – sprinted towards the finish line.
As the competitors caught their breath, Ms Abubakar Ali appeared to jog the final few metres, before giving a cheerful skip as she crossed the line after 21.81 seconds.

It's like Aladeen without a gun lol
H😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The race also represents where Somali is in progress relative to other nations. Also explains the reason why they’re behind corruption.
At least Somali remains top 3 in corruption
Heer waxaan mareynaa cadaankii nagu raxeystaan😂😂😢
The second last sprinter seems just as bad as the somali sprinter.
Good gawd this is awful. Is she pregnant?? Looks like it. Someone qualified (a REAL athlete), who earned the spot was ripped off of their chance to shine. Sickening.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
What made her think she could compete against world class runners. In any case she's world famous now and everybody knows about Somalia😅
She literally took the phrase, "the race is not for the fastest" and went along with it😂😂
My personal PR is 16 seconds for this (probably better now) and I’m faster than her and I’m in middle school!
This 2023 is no joke man this is so funny
😂
Recommendation and nepotism in sports? 😂 Might work within your country where other competent players are denied the opportunity or are threatened to lose on purpose so that the 🤡 could win, but the audacity to send the 🤡 to an international event to compete against top athletes across the global is just fked up 🤣😂
😅😅😅
She got a champion's hart atleast, cometing and completing is what matters most for her 😅
I will use this video as a brilliant illustration of the word "nepotism" to my daughter. That said, I agree with some of the comments that actually it is fascinating to see the performance of professional athletes in context of normal folk.
hey .. apa yg terjadi padamu
kamu seperti sangat tidak bersemangat 😵
Excellent pirates but awful sprinters
😂😂😂😂😂😅
That is definitely not a runner and kinda looks preg
@dudedadcreatefun
😅
She has a dream to get into the world record books
She probably did
She just skips across the finish line as if she didn't humiliate an ENTIRE COUNTRY
🤣🤣
Good health
Both her and her aunt should be hold accoutable, like she should be banned from all competitions world wide and her aunt should be removed from any political positions shes holding.
After watching this, i feel i can be whatever i want to be! I ll get my aunt to give me a work as a doctor now.
Alr thats enough laughing for today😅😅😅😅
Nice
Power of Islam
It is the thought that counts
Sorry for the government and its community, it is kind of nepotism we are terribly sorry.
Bravo Somali. F*ck sports industry!
Stupid ligers. (N)
The “Greatest Skip of ALL TIME!!! 😂😂😂
Islamic athletes
She ain't even dressed like was about to run
😂😂😂 I love the confidence
The fastest classmate in my class could do better then her 💀
i do feel bad for Abukar Ali and how everyone has been absolutely flaming her rn. but the way i see it, it’s the aunts fault for letting this even slide and she probably didn’t have a choice but to say yes to the offer (if there even was one)
the somalian girl actually won. look at the views
this put into perspective how the youngs nowadays believe they can be anything at minimum effort, sure they can be anything but just be ready to be a laughing stock at it
