Weekend Watch List: How not to be a goalkeeper, how not to be a sprinter, how not to catch a ball and more

In the week gone by, Nasra Abukar Ali joined a group of athletes with creatively cruel nicknames such as Eric the Eel and Trevor the Tortoise. Why? The Somalian sprinter ran herself into infamy after completing a 100m sprint at the World University Games in China’s Chengdu with a tediously slow timing of 21.81 seconds. So slow was the 20-year-old sprinter that Somalia’s sports minister Mohamed Barre Mohamud has had to publicly apologise; the chairwoman of the country’s athletics federation, Khadijo Aden Dahir, has found herself suspended and Nasra could be facing legal action for competing despite being neither a sportsperson nor a runner. The Ministry of Youth and Sports should step down. It's disheartening to witness such an incompetent government. How could they select an untrained...
