Holy… She kept going even after the diarrhea started? How did they not disqualify her once there was shit running down her legs? And the nerve to make all the other participants touch your shit just to win a race is something else. I know athletes need a competitive mindset but thats just disrespectful.

From what I read elsewhere, it sounded like a situation the officials were simply unprepared to deal with, and there was nothing in the rules about it. Just not something that has happened before or had been thought of as a possibility. I have the impression this is a newer sport, not something that has been around for decades or even centuries, like running.
Hyrox is like CrossFit, but with less emphasis on events and movements where technique/coordination/timing are critical. Things like Olympic lifting and kipping pull ups aren’t part of the competition.
I guess it happens to marathon runners all the time, but they’re generally on public streets outdoors (with the airflow advantages that implies) and the worst case is stepping in it and getting it on their shoes. This is a much more up-close sport (and indoors), like to the point where other competitors might have needed to do pushups in the same spot she did them. They tore out the carpet after her race.
It doesn’t help that she posted “Go hard or go home. A win is a win” while getting an IV immediately afterwards.

Yeah I think she didnt exactly have a clear mind after winning a professional competition while sick and leaking diarrhea everywhere.
But yeah it does make her sound very arrogant and disrespectful.

“Ain’t no rule that says a dog cain’t play basketball while they has diarrhea!”
It’s CrossFit. It’s just got a new name

Probably. I can imagine them like “what do we do? Spitting on the equipment is against the rules but it doesnt say anything about shitting”
Don’t runners shit themselves commonly? I’ve seen lots of marathon runners shit themselves. You’d think they’d have something prepared.
