Somali sprinter’s ‘embarrassing’ 22 second 100m draws government apology

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.

Well, she's clearly shameless. Most of us with consciences wouldn't agree to embarrass ourselves like this in front of the world.

This is basically a perfect metaphor for the nepotism in our US government

Sad that there is many qualified Somali runners out there that could've competed instead

Everyone gets a participation medal 🏅 👏

And THAT'S what counts!

The Corinthian ideal on full display here with this performance.

There are no participation medals at this level of competition.

She has something in common with Usain Bolt actually. Bolt slowed down looking behind and actually jogged to the finish line seeing how far distant his competition was. Ms Somalia looked forward and skipped across the line seeing how far in the distance her competition was!

“At least I didn’t come last” doesn’t quite have the same effect in this race 😅

At least do corruption properly. The crooked minister should have send a real runner and her niece as a crew member or something

[@ccyalabdoc5493]

It’s true she is her niece, there is Facebook post while congratulating her graduation on her page.

Corruption in sports can have some incredibly brutal results like this.

Yea i see all good an bad but what stands out is her partisipation for a currupt campaign
