Somali runner sets record for 'slowest ever' 100m after taking over 20 seconds to complete

- The Somali Ministry of Youth and Sports has suspended the chairwoman of the country’s athletics federation after viral footage of an untrained sprinter competing in Chengdu, China, on Tuesday, August 1, circulated online.
Footage released by FISU, who run the World University Games, shows the women’s 100 meter sprint.
Nasra Abukar Ali, who was part of a delegation chosen to run for Somalia at the games, can be seen lining up at the start of the race.
Ali almost immediately falls behind her competitors, disappearing out of the camera’s view. She can be seen completing the race long after her competitors, skipping across the finish line.
The clip quickly gathered attention online, with some calling for the resignation of officials involved in the selection of Ali.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, the Somali Ministry of Youth and Sports suspended Khadija Aden Dahir, the chair of the Somali Athletics Federation, citing abuse of power.
It also said that “Nasra Abukar Ali is not a runner”.
Ali’s heat was won by Brazilian sprinter Gabriela Silva Mourao with a time of 11.58 seconds. Ali finished some 10 seconds behind.

She wanted a world record and she got her world record Mission accomplished.
Hey don't be rude she can and will but all she needs is to do more practice
Won't last long, i'll identify as a female for the next event and ill take 30 seconds to do the 100m
@gce7586 nah just casually walk it but make it look like a run so that you will get the world record
@@AbubakarBadawi-ht4kono one is being rude 💀 goofy
@@AbubakarBadawi-ht4komy grandma in a wheelchair is faster than that
I love how she skips at the end. The last kick is like she is saying I don't care.
Exactly, she's like woooh, this is done too😂😂😂
It's not that she is slow. It's other runners that are faster
She just finished jogging I guess
😂😂😂😂😂🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️ at least she finished. Bless her heart.
@@capricorn839 ok everyone is wrong she is right rite 😂😂😂😂
Imagine running your ass off, getting first and then having all the attention from the race be on someone who was the slowest person?
Slowest person **EVER**
She will end up getting more commercial endorsements than the winner.
Like youtubers. We have great musicians, great composers, great writers. But the dumbest youtubers get all the fame.
this
Well, she wasn't the fastest on record, but the other lady is the slowest on record. Who do you think deserve the attention?
That: “I ran for the bus but I missed it, nevermind” skip at the end 😂
😂😂😂😂
LOL wow that is so accurate you are a genius
I am sure she is related to the Somali Minister of Youth and Sport. There must be many girls in Somalia who can run faster than her but she wanted the free trip to China.
Minister of Youth and Sports Mohamed Barre Mohamud said his ministry did not know how 20-year-old Nasra Abukar Ali was selected to compete in the women's 100 at the student games in Chengdu on Tuesday.
The ministry separately released a statement directing the Somalia Olympic Committee to suspend national athletics federation chairwoman Khadija Aden Dahir amid allegations that Nasra Abukar was a relative of hers and was given the chance to compete at the games because of that.
That's a good one free ride to China 😂😂
I could’ve easily made top 2🫶🏽😞😞🇸🇴
Somaliland has a lot of athlete runners but somalia has not.
@@granjmy didnt know or didnt want to know
sometimes corruption is so bad it shows how absurd and stupid the person in office is ..
what exactly was the person sending his daughter was thinking ?
that she had a chance ?
Knda like a politically powerful father getting his kid on the Board of Directors at Bourisma - it shows how absurd and stupid the person in office is...
maybe you are so stupid..clearly you are notthe girl running, and do know what has made her do this. There is an old saying, dont just someone until you walk a mile in their shoes.
Brilliant decision. Normally these events are so boring and monotonous: 8 super beings running really fast. I’d actually start watching athletics if they included one untrained person in every event.
Same I wanna see normy representation
😂😂😂😂😂
You know what you're right 🤣🤣😂😂
Fr it’d be so fun lol
A typical result for an untrained woman would be over 30 seconds. So no doubt she's an athlete albeit beginner level as opposed to world class ones next to her
Finally found a sprinter i can beat.
The judges had to use a calendar to measure her time...
They used a sun dial lol
Oof😂
Her aunt Asha Dahir was head of delegation and her other aunt Khadija Dahir was chairwoman of the national athletic committee. According to herself, she had never run before and had only trained for one month before the competition.
Why in the world is she there....
Nepotism
Her fox is official in the athletic club so she gets the ticket without working
Clear case of nepotism
This is extremely appalling, some athlete worked their ass off training to compete just to have their spot taken by this “athlete”
She’s setting the bar for the slowest ever bro stop hating
But there were 3 empty lanes, whose spot did she take?
She actually said she was representing Somalia to run 10 meters. So it is not her fault that they changed it to 100 meters. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Never heard of 10 metre race...Perhaps a race to the nearest Burger and chips? 😁😂😃😀
Even in 10 meters she would have been slowest.. 😂
Look at how she took the start.
10m is like...long jump
😂😂😂
Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce; My goal at the World Athletics Championships to be held this year is to surpass the Somali Superstar Nasra Abukar Ali, who is now the first in the World Rankings. It will not be easy to pass Nasra Abukar Ali.
Thanks 🇸🇴🇸🇴
woah that brazillian athlete was impressive 👏👏
It's so sad all the attention was given to someone who didn't even deserve to compete with the rest of them.
We all know who's the real winner is
homie, you need to focus to the elephant in the room
The winner was not fast compared to world class sprinters - she would need to run under 10.8 to be competitive.
@@DGK284how many women have run under 10.8 this year?
I feel bad, imagine losing a race, being the slowest and being last, then the next day you notice you're the worst runner in the world
And your video has spread in different social media apps and would be there for a long long time!
african comedy never ends
Kkkkkk
This is Somalia, not "Africa".
@@obinnaezealah2465 he isn't wrong. Somalia is a country in Africa continent.❤️
The audacity to try is the thing for me.
That's like me running to catch the bus !!!
😂😂😂😂
I bet you miss it every time lol
It looked like she was jogging the whole time. Did she think it was a different event- like based on endurance rather than sprinting?
Yeah, dude, she's stupid 'casuse she's brown, sure
Her country sent her without explaining the rules, or even more - they themselves didn't know the rules
Maybe a marathon she was hoping to put up her best performance later remember she doesn't speak English 😂
Could also be she torn an old injury. I just find it a little hard to believe she got all the way there and couldn’t perform at all for no other reason than she’s slow.
@@Popeye_the_HatermanHer uncle is the head of Somali athletics or whatever. He sent this lady to compete at the olympics despite not having the same training as the other athletes
@@Popeye_the_Hatermanaccording to the news in Somalia, she's not even runner or sport person. Right now they investigating how a person who's not in sport got into the competition
this is similar to the shot-put girl running the hurdles a few weeks ago. actually she walked . but the reason was important. even if the athlete finishes last their team still gets a point for having a runner in the race. that extra point helped the team qualify for a major sporting tournament coming up in the future. this may be a similar occurrence of a team needing a point and entering a runner with no chance to win. This is also why you sometimes see a runner that falls during a race get up and finish the race even though he or she may have to limp across the finish line far behind the other runners.
This happened because of corruption. Her uncle was important person in Somalian sport committee.
You could have literally taken nearly any one between 15 and 25 in Somalia that likes to run and they would have done better than this... Hurdles takes practice so I can see that. In my grade 8 school year the slowest girl on track day was like 18.5 seconds. The fastest was like 12 or 13 seconds. I'm sure Somalia is similar if not fitter and could found anyone that would have liked the trip and being able to compete.
Naaaa it's not the same at all get mix it up the one you talking about her team members professional athletes were injured if no one runs they will be disqualified she is a shot putter agreed to fill in for her team this case of all the people in the country her uncle took her to who couldn't run well to represent the country I don't know what he was thinking now he got himself in a lot of trouble 😂😂😂😂
this is corruption groups somali control send this girl she isn’t sport person sorry world.
the government now is most corrupt groups somali history for ever.
Wow you talked alot of BS, it has nothing to do with an extra point. There is no such things in the olympics.
Record is record, so you can break the record either positively or negatively.
Congratulations to Nasra for breaking the record negatively. Bravo! You are straight into The Guinness World Records list. We're proud of you.We’ happy she finished.
Are you somali?
Totally 😅😅😅
@@asmaomar7113 yes 😂😂 don't doubt it, we are the winners 🏆
That childish skip at the end though 🤣.
Reminds me of the penguin meme
On the positive side she did tried her best to reach the finishing line
Bro my 80 year old grandpa could do 100m 💀
i got a feeling daddy paid for her entry ha ha ha
I mean her confidence at the end is killing!!! 😆😆😆
She runs faster than me tbh
Hhhh
@user-xt2nk6qk3c even a Sarakzit runs faster than her 😂😂😂 hhhhhhhhh
You the QWOP guy?
She was chillin
I think we can call this behavior "anti marketing" being intentionally bad at something for attention, as opposed to being good at something for attention. This should be fun.
Her "explosive" speed outta the blocks was impressive. 😅
All ahuakbarrrrr
@@gogagahihigo1545😐
@@gogagahihigo1545 💣💣
Some better class athletes could have run this race. What a waste
Well they could have entered the event then it was open lanes as
Apparently the athlete didn't come or smt and this was a last minute change so the country is not disqualified but don't quote me on this
When you lie in your resume
Evryone was back in their planes going home and she was still trying to finish the race
Guangzhou 2010.
Women's marathon. There's a racer from Timor Leste. When the winner crossed finish line, she's only at 25km.
The winner, Brazilian sprinter Gabriela Silva Mourao, praised God after her win. Beautiful example!
Nope. God was pulling for the Somali.
God's busy making sure Ukrainian hospitals are being bombed
Lane 5 isn't too fast either. Seems more like a 1500 meter runner. She runs not sprint.
Lemme guess, she identifies as Usain Bolt..
She was enjoying the moment! Love the little skip at the finish line🤪
TBF she IS wearing 50 pounds worth of drapery, so good on her/him/them/thar.
This is not the special olympics, was it? Why should we have to be empathetic of a non-athelete who obviously didn't train much for an event on a world stage in which she took the spot from many much more deserving athletes? Looks like she was finishing a marathon at the end😂
Congratulations New record 😅😅 🤦🤦
😂😂
this has to be a troll people in primary school run quicker than that
0:10 is the point where I'd stop and say "f that, not happening", and I'd just walk off
I don't understand all the buzz, 21.81 seconds, that is a very respectable time... for the 200 meters
Power of islamic veil (hijab) & woman empowerment in Islamic utopian countries.
For those of you who dont know why she was picked in the first place . Cause she was related to the sport officials in Somalia, this is the direct result of corruption and how it effects everything. How wreched for Somalia.
You kindda had that “oh dear” face, from the moment you saw her move toward the blocks 😬
She just needs to finish strong. She is fast of the block.
And no one is talking about the winner. It just went over their heads and her glory was stolen.
Religion!
This is what happens when you are forced to add contestants.
how did she qualify?
That skip in the end is the true "cerise sur la crème"
This had to be a Bucket list deal!!😂😂😂
thar kick at the end 😂
“I just wanted a free trip”
Now im curious, what was the slowest record before this..
Wow! She passed the baton and jogged along to the finish line in a 100m race. Brilliant!
Result of nepotism and clan associations
At least she got them famous because I cant remember the last time I've watched the track after Bolt retired 2bh
This is sad, she never run 🏃♂️ before
what is she wearing?
They should have put a yellow line for the world slowest record on it, he he..."She's going to break the record oh my God, the crowd are going wild.... laughing!"
El querer es poder!! 💯
I still wonder if Somalia did this on purpose for some reason.
Congratulations nasro for your high level successful
You go, girl!!!
Why is this woman even in this race??? What an insult to the actual sprinting athletes that worked hard to go up against the best, and to prove themselves.
Nepotism is one of the biggest problem in those countries.
It's those superior athletic Gene's they keep bragging about.
You just have to watch who wins 🤫
Ethiopia and Kenya are good runners lol. Somalia is the one who are slow and can't run.
in Somalia those genes clearly skipped 😂
bro she was allowed in this race cause of nepotisim she was unqualified
I come back to this video every so often when someone asks the definition of Nepotism.
the sprinter from Somalia gives a proof of how nepotism works and hinder the growth of talents in our countries! Big shame
Hahah 😂 the beginning is stunning! 0:07
Reminds me of a RUclips star - a skier from Venezuela.
Or Eddie the Eagle Edwards
shout out her ima professional athlete now but my moms put me on a track team when i wasa kid.. i was fat and every race ended like that but trying and doing better is whats going to be the win in her personal life
At this level, you may be able to run faster than most people, but still be considered a slow runner. In Triathlon, many people practice and are able to win amateur races because the level of competition is not very high. During my time in college, I swam competitively, but I was not the fastest in my category. However, there were three swimmers in my category who went on to win Olympic medals.
Take a guess who got an participation award in the race😂
Somalis still dominate at the Pirate Olympics though. In all fairness,...she was wearing a lot of layers.
And she’s the best they have.
She is not the best we have .
@@faisayasin1059 well, that’s normally how it works.
@@gerrycooper56She’s just the daughter of some coach that’s it
In the grand scheme of things, she's still faster than most adults in the world.
I am still confused on how she got in the 100m race
Somebody got their editing break from working on Telletubbies. "Again. Again again."
When I ran track we would sometimes have injuries and have to put one of the team members into an event that they had no experience in so that we did not lose out on team points. For example putting a shot putter into a sprinting event. But since this is Somalia we are talking about, there is no explanation for this except some kind of government corruption.
the official should be charged with treason!
That was embarrassing - why was a runner this slow even allowed to compete in this meet? She probably doesn't even know how to run out of starting blocks.
If we are Somalis we have many records not only this record
We have the fastest and slowest records
Mo Farah and Abdi Bille They're originally From Somalia 🇸🇴🇩🇯 and they won Olympics gold❤
So we aren't easy❤
Long live my people🇸🇴🇩🇯❤️
Mo Farah is from Somaliland
Mo Farah is Somalilander and represents Great Britain.
You need to get your head checked.
Seek help urgently
Come on! Be happy! At least she broke a record and put Somalia on the map again on a different topic.
Otherwise the topic about Somalia in International mainstream media and Social media would be pirates and Al shabbab terrorists. ☺
He was born at a time where Somalia was one country. Furthermore Somaliland isn't an official country. So take it easy with the "get your head checked stuff"
@@shaji9218
"Somalia" was never a one country
This is the lies your kind perpetuates
The Somali Republic was.
But that doesn't fit your narrative.
Conveniently forgotten history.
That's why we have done something about it. Liberated our homeland.
Restored our sovereignty and sent your parasitic fagash forces packing
A defeat you will never recover from.
You seem to be confusing recognition with independence
Somaliland is a country as much as it pains you. It might not be recognized yet. But, it's only a matter of time and it will be standing long after your federal tribal states of Zoomalia become extinct.
Not long to go now.
And Mo Farah is Somalilander
If you think you can dispute that. Then you really need to get you head checked.
He's actually British news flash.
Your loss is more popular than someone's win ..... 😂
She made a world record actually 😂😂. The slowest time in 100m history…😂😂
She was related to one of the Officials, it's the only reason she was allowed to paricipate.
It must be due to rag on head...
not a due rag it’s called a hijab religious symbol
I saw faster runners at black Friday.
She got in there through a Somali version of Afirmative Action.
Real talk though: lane 5 is in the wrong event. She could be a middle distance runner.
When the 100m sprinter wants to run a 100m endurance race!
Damn. That ‘runner’ made it so obvious that her parents bought her way into the team. lol. If anything, I feel more sorry for the person whose spot she took who really did deserve it.
I congratulate her.
When all your life you are a queen, so you finish like a queen.
What a shame on the totally corrupt Somali government?
Great finish by the Somali runner😅
Seems like someone wanted a free trip.
Later that week she won the 10k for Somalia.
