After achieving a record as the slowest person to participate in the 100-meter running competition in China, with a difference of more than 10 seconds from the rest of the competitors, a Somali runner caused a sensation in her country.
Nasra Abu Bakr Ali, a 20-year-old young woman, participated in the 100-meter race for women in athletics for universities in China, but she finished the race in last place, with a difference of more than ten seconds behind the winner of the race, with a time of 11.58 seconds, which caused a sensation.
And a video clip spread on social media to support Abu Bakr Ali, clearly showing that the girl is not trained and does not have an athletic structure, and she came in last place with a large difference from everyone, and she was not in the frame of the screen when the rest of the runners reached the finish line, which made the Somalis criticize What they said was a “scandal”.
The story of the “slow runner” sparked great ridicule in Somalia. Some said she was a different runner, some called her fat, and others called her the turtle, which prompted the Somali Ministry of Youth and Sports to break its silence.
The ministry announced that it did not know anything about the young woman, explaining that she was neither an athlete nor a runner, but rather participated through nepotism and nepotism.
The ministry quickly apologized to China and suspended the membership of the President of the Somali Athletics Federation, and it turned out that the latter had put Nasra in the competition because she was his niece.
While investigations are still underway in one of the most embarrassing situations for the sports community.
