Somalia's runners provide inspiration

The girl has heart and she is courageous. She is a middle distance runner and not a 200 meter sprinter thats why she lost. They put her in the wrong event so its not her fault she lost.

True.

Samiya took the whole Somali nation to the centre stage, what do these dudes who everyday fight qawiil fights here after they are fed by welfare cheques done for Somalia and Somalis? Why are they embarassed? They pretend to be out of touch of the situation in somalia.

Samiya for Somali president. :love:
