As Bill Murray once tweeted, "Every Olympic event should include one average person for reference." Well thanks to the nepotism of Somalia's Ministry of Youth and Sports director, we got the next best thing. 

As part of the FISU World University Games, held this year in China, the Youth and Sports director decided to allow his niece to compete in the 100m dash against the world's best amateur runners. The result was exactly what you'd expect. 

"What does she gain by competing? Like what was the point?" @JacobTooCold asked. It's a fair question. There's no way she thought she actually had a chance. 

"It's disheartening to witness such an incompetent government," Elham Garaad tweeted. "It's truly shocking and reflects poorly on our country internationally."

A different Somalian runner, Hasan Ali Idoow, proved the country's track and field pedigree in the competition by reaching the men's 1500m final. 

But with a finishing time more than twice that of the woman's 100m heat winner, unsurprisingly, the same cannot be said for the Ministry of Youth and Sports director's niece. Somebody tell Bill Murray that he got his wish.
