An untrained runner who was representing Somalia in the 31st Summer World University Games in Chengdu, China showed that the 100m dash was not her kind of race.
Instead of representing the country the way that they expected, she recorded a time of 21.81 seconds.
This was the slowest time ever, while the other sprinters crossed the finish line in less than 14 seconds. See the video below:
The Ministry of Youth and Sports should step down. It's disheartening to witness such an incompetent government. How could they select an untrained girl to represent Somalia in running? It's truly shocking and reflects poorly on our country internationally. pic.twitter.com/vMkBUA5JSL

One follower said, “Immediately I saw the potbelly, I started laughing. This girl hasn’t walked fast in her life, talk more of run any kind of race. Lmaooooo. Looks like there are no women in Somalia again so they had to pick the last one from the street and put her on the next flight”.
