Gary Lineker once shat himself at the world cup. Don’t recall him ever having to apologise.
Did she try some local street food kinda like this? I’m just joking around.
Dude, I love foot cheese burgers!
It could just be made normally in India tbh
[Quentin did not like that.]
yeah, a long history of public shitting at strenuous events, particularly women. Her issues was it’s all over the indoor events track and equipment,
Wietrzyk isn’t alone: other public mishaps published over the past three decades include the 1998 London Marathon winner, Catherina McKeirnan, who dodged cameras along the way while suffering several bouts of diarrhoea. Paula Radcliffe, the winner of the 2005 London Marathon, wasn’t so lucky; she was publicly caught relieving herself of debilitating stomach pains by the road near the finish line, blaming it on too much gluten-free pasta and grilled salmon the night before. In 2024 the US athlete Taylor Knibb won the Dubai T100 despite having to relieve herself during the race, uttering the immortal line to a camera operator: “I just shit myself … so can you not get my ass? Thank you.”
I understand this to an extent, but not the post competition behavior.
I was a runner in secondary school. You’re taught to push through pain and discomfort to reach the finish. If 24 year old me shat myself whilst participating in the Olympics, I can imagine possibly panicking and deciding to continue. You have to make instantaneous decisions with unwavering followthrough whilst competing as second guessing can make the difference between ranking first or third. You don’t overthink, just decide, execute, and move forward.
I cannot imagine bragging about it later on social media. I’d be mortified. Hell, I AM mortified for her.
I cannot imagine bragging about it later on social media. I’d be mortified.
Shame and embarrassment work in strange ways and everyone is different. She’s clearly very goal-directed and a very capable athlete. I can’t imagine all the extremes of emotion she had to feel with the backlash that followed.
Excuse me for saying this, but what a shitty thing to happen all around.
Trump doesn’t apologize. He mumbles through some bluster that sounds like an apology. He’s a narcissist, why would he?
If I’m remembering correctly it was Thor Björnsson who once said “Sometimes you shit yourself. It happens. And then you come back the next day and lift again, and it might happen again, but that’s okay.”
An Australian shitting all over china, you can’t make this shit up…
Na just in a Maccas.
Wow, it’s the 29th anniversary today. What a coincidence.
She literally gave a shit and now people are mad. What a fucking circus.
idk what hyrox is but it sounds like drain cleaner
Or those knockoff Oreos—Hydrox.
I prefer Newman-Os just for the niche community memes.
Newman-Os are good But I love a fig newman
That name must be why Oreos became more popular. Who wants to eat a “Hydrox”
Didn’t that brand come first? I’m too lazy to Google it.
You’re right! Oreos came out 4 years after Hydrox. So Oreos are the knockoff. TIL.
So, I realise being in a gym makes this far worse than, say, an endurance athlete, but do you think part of the reason she was given so much shit (lol) is because nobody takes Hyrox seriously?
I’d imagine an athlete doing this sort of thing in a more popular sport would face more criticism and ridicule. If anything, Hyrox being niche is probably saving her from a lot of attention and outrage.
Endurance athletes piss and shit themselves all the time.
Yes, but they usually dont get it all over their legs, arms, and face while leaving trail behind them, nor smear shared equipment with it like a baboon’s art project.
“Organisers should assess whether such a situation could affect the health or wellbeing of other competitors,” he said.
Dr Li said this was particularly important because HYROX was an indoor event.
“Take a marathon as an example. If a competitor is menstruating, organisers would generally respect their decision to continue because a marathon is an outdoor event,” he said.
"They don’t share equipment with other competitors, so it generally doesn’t pose a public safety concern.
“But HYROX is an indoor event, where competitors share equipment. In that situation, I think the organisers should have staff step in and adjust the event, or take appropriate emergency measures.”

Outside during a marathon, you could make an argument. But inside, using equipment that everyone after you will also need to use, is a different story.
I think the organisers should have staff step in and adjust the event
This is the very obvious correct answer.
Yup. Apparently they also have to do some Nokia Snake shenanigans to make sure the entire course fits in the available space, so each person gets to experience it multiple times, to say nothing of the spotter who has to stay right by her while she’s doing the crossfit parts.
Maybe it’s unrealistic to expect the hyper-competitive athlete to pull herself out, but this should not have been a difficult call for the organization. I would also draw a distinction with menstruation, where the taboo is much less justifiable than the literal disease vector that loose stool is.
Is Puma a nuclear superpower?
One girl, one hyrox.
Well, it wasn’t so much the shitting. She could have handled it right then and nobody would have heard about it
It was the smearing shit across the entire venue, other athletes, and all the equipment, to the point where they had to do an overnight emergency carpet replacement. Then going home and bragging about it in a now deleted post, humiliating both Hyrox and her (now former) sponsor Puma as the internet was flooded with thousands of shocking pictures and videos
Pooma
Pants
you make it sound like she running around intentionally finger pinting it smearing it on people and things. thats not even remotely the story here.
In a statement, HYROX China said the area was decontaminated after the race had finished.
“After the incident, the organising committee immediately closed off and isolated the affected area and track, and completed comprehensive disinfection,” organisers said.
“Relevant equipment was removed from the venue, and waste was disposed of in accordance with municipal waste-management standards.”
The organisers also said they would replace flooring at the venue to protect future athlete health.
She shit herself, got shit on her hands and legs, and continued to use the shared equipment. It was bad enough the competition organizers are replacing the flooring. That’s pretty much what the other person said.
you make it sound like she running around intentionally finger painting it smearing it on people and things
She chose to get her shit everywhere instead of taking care of her mess. If that’s not intentionally smearing shit on things, I don’t know what would be.
If you have paint on your hands and you choose to use somebody’s thing without cleaning your hands, you chose to get paint on it. She chose to get her shit on everything, so she gets blamed for the thing she did.
It’s not that far off really.
anything off reality is too far. way too much fake news and way too many people sensationalizing it into their own bullshit.
Well, she got it all over her arms and hands then actively smeared it into equipment other people had to use. This went on for like 40 minutes. Then she publicly bragged about doing so.
Your interpretation of the story is that she was unaware this was happening?
nope nor does that mean im going to humour your insinuation as it would be ableist for failing to acknowlege nuances of the real story troll
English, man. Stop the bullshit generator.
She disabled?
Athlete competes and loses control of bowels, she should have stopped competing for health reasons.
What is the ableism?
Okay, well let us know when you’re comfortable revealing the hidden truth that will change everyone’s mind
You. you seriously want the truth?
good.
about time.
Cuz fact is: she was apologetic and relinquished her prize shortly after the incident and the sponsor regretted their decision in it too. This was barely a story but someone needed to insinuate this girl had some deeper issues just to make it that more foreboding than it really is. She fucked up. Just like alot of people do every day. Then she apologized. just like anyone else does everyday when they fuck up. nothing more. No one got hurt thankfully. A valuable lesson was learned. Could it have gone better? sure. but we cant change the past. so we really could all move on and could very well find far better stories than this to be outraged by.
This was all pretty easy to look up btw. but that is no fun for these little trolls to look up the real facts of a story cuz they all want to pitchfork the shit out of the real news.
not everything is a doomscroll in the way they would so desperately want it to be just for the rage clicks.
How these narratives get so bent is more sickening than some lady shitting her pants.
So here’s the thing. Other people have actually posted sources instead of just ranting about it. Including the full timeline with screenshots that disprove what you’re saying. So why would anybody believe you?
Even in your dubious version of events you completely gloss over the fact that she continued on for an egregious amount of time after making the mess. It just doesn’t add up
She gave a shit about it!
I need some context - or perhaps I don’t?
A Hyrox athlete (this incident making rounds on the internet is how I first heard of the sport) shat herself during a competition but kept going and won, using shared equipment with feces streaming down her legs. She proclaimed “a win is a win” and only apologized after backlash online and losing her sponsorship from Puma.
A Hyrox athlete
A hyro-rah-what now?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyrox
Hyrox (stylized as HYROX) is an indoor fitness competition that combines 8 km of running and 8 functional workout stations. Contestants alternate between running and functional exercises.
Oooh.
This is my first time hearing of this. Part of me wants to see pictures and videos. Part of me doesn’t. The latter part is happy that I suck at searching stuff like this online.
All I’m saying is, if someone were to drop a link to some uncensored evidence, there’s a good chance I’ll click it…
You just search 2 girls 1 cup, it’s a foreign video so that’s why it has a funny name.
Wait did she really have a Puma sponsorship, they really coulda taken a W here with their PumaPants line
Thanks.
What a niche drama.
I thought this was about Trump, somehow. Wouldn’t that be nice.
They put only the best diapers on him. Very beautiful diapers. That’s why it doesn’t run down his legs and get all over the oval office.
Not sure about that last part
Puma are such morons for this. A win is a win, you want her to stop? This is a fucking winner. Puma is diarrhea of shoes anyway 😂😂
Puma were right: that gal actively and consciously made it harder for other athletes to compete.
I bet you never competitively ran or worked out to experience this. Look up runners diarrhea, shit is not conscious and you can’t stop it.
shit is not conscious and you can’t stop it.
Yes, But you can leave the competition. She didn’t and smeared everything with poop, thus actively and consciously making it harder for other athletes to compete.
Lmfao of course I’m arguing with someone that never did any physical activity in their life. SHE WON FIRST PLACE BUD. SHE AIN’T GONNA QUIT LIKE A FUCKING LOSER
Keep shitting your pants in silence, please
Nike should sign her instead.
“Just doodoo it.”
Not really. This is literal whataboutism.
We’re talking about the impact of sponsoring an athlete on a brand, and the podcast is about how Puma literally created athlete sponsoring.
The fact that they were Nazis is somewhat irrelevant.
So Americans censor shit now? Something literally everyone has seen since they were born?
I’m sure you can find the uncensored versions on Australian public television. Go beat your meat to that.
Sphincter not so locked in
In the worst possible way…
The worst way would have been losing.
Just taking the L would have been the better option.
