Nasra Ali Abukar (Somali: Nasra Abuukar Cali; born September 15, 2004) is a Somali university student known for her participation in the 100-meter race at the XXXI FISU World University Games in Chengdu, China, where she came last. Her remarkably poor result and perceived lack of athleticism caused international outrage and accusations of nepotism when she was found out to have family ties with the chair of the Somali Athletics Committee.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9]
