Nasro Ali Abukar from Somalia became an overnight internet sensation. Unfortunately for him, unfortunately. She achieved the lowest result in the 100 meters discipline at the China Universiade. She "ran" that distance in 21.81 seconds.
But it turned out that Nasro is not into athletics at all and that she ended up in China thanks to her aunt, who is the head of the Somali Athletics Federation. Her aunt Kadija Aden Dahir arranged for her to go to the championship. As president of the Athletics Federation, she forged documents so that Nasro could compete in Chengdu. When the scandal broke, she was removed from the post of president of the athletics federation.

Somalia's Minister of Sports, Mohamed Bare Mohamud, announced that Kadijo Aden Dahir is no longer holding a position at the Athletics Federation.
"She has used power and nepotism and tarnished the name of the nation at the international level. Criminal proceedings will be initiated against her. Nasro Ali Abukar is not a sportswoman at all. Her license is forged and she presents herself as a member of a club that does not exist at all ", he added.
The unfortunate 20-year-old may even suffer the consequences after returning home. She also participated in the fraud because she became an accomplice by agreeing to everything. She drowned in front of the whole world and apparently overestimated herself thinking she could keep up with the other athletes, even though she had never run in her life. She finished the race with a time of 21.81 and the other results clearly prove the kind of trick she is doing, as she was first out of 50 competitors with a time of 13.64.
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
