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.

I have to say, I'm an over weight, 40 year old man and I could easily do the 100m sprint in less than 20 seconds straight off the sofa and if I had 6-8 weeks training I could do it in less than 15 seconds
Good luck
Now it doesn't come as a surprise that Somalia has produced Ilhan Omar, the epitome of lies, deceit n corruption….it kinda feels like its inbuilt into their society or something..
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
the somalian girl actually won. look at the views
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 fastest classmate in my class could do better then her 💀
😂😂😂 I love the confidence
She ain't even dressed like was about to run
Islamic athletes
The “Greatest Skip of ALL TIME!!! 😂😂😂
Stupid ligers. (N)
Bravo Somali. F*ck sports industry!
Sorry for the government and its community, it is kind of nepotism we are terribly sorry.
It is the thought that counts
Power of Islam
Nice
Alr thats enough laughing for today😅😅😅😅
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.
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.
Good health
🤣🤣
She just skips across the finish line as if she didn't humiliate an ENTIRE COUNTRY
She has a dream to get into the world record books
She probably did
😅
@dudedadcreatefun
That is definitely not a runner and kinda looks preg
😂😂😂😂😂😅
Excellent pirates but awful sprinters
hey .. apa yg terjadi padamu
kamu seperti sangat tidak bersemangat 😵
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.
She got a champion's hart atleast, cometing and completing is what matters most for her 😅
😅😅😅
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 🤣😂
😂
This 2023 is no joke man this is so funny
