Blind athletes can follow the smell, so not all bad.

I knew this would find its way to the OT

She is a disgusting bitch

Like take a few minutes off your desired PR time to wipe the shite off of you. Good god. Have some decency .

there have been some wild takes on this. I've seen quite a few female "athletes" saying that she isn't to blame and that hyrox is responsible for not having a rule in place stating that you can't shite yourself and spread it all over the place.

eta: looks like one of them is in this thread

Hyrox is the new CrossFit. Annoying.

As Kenny Powers would say “I’m not trying to be the best at exercising.”

Your analogy would hit better if Hyrox had posted rules on this, ya know, like a speed limit sign.

What happened to her is not uncommon.
Hyrox did not stop her.
She did not ignore a posted rule that I know of. Had she done so I imagine she would have been DQ’d.

On one hand, I understand that this is her career and winning these events are significant paydays, not to mention sponsorships that come from them

but on the other than hand, this has to hurt her marketability a little bit, no?

or maybe she leans into it?

Is it against the known rules to drink and drive?

Was it against Hyrox rules to continue the race with poo streaming down your legs?

If it was against Hyrox rules, disqualify her.

If it wasn’t, Hyrox has some changes and improvements to make.

It happens. I've shite in some really weird places on runs due to runners gut.

But it is also certainly not common for elite athletes to shite themselves in competition.

There is a reason why these photos are famous.

She worked hard to get to that race, had what it took to win it. As shocking as it is, bowel issues and runners aren’t exactly unheard of.


I'd tend to agree with you if we were talking about a regular marathon, where the shitty mess just drips onto the pavement and is easily avoided by other runners

But in Hyrox, everything is indoors and you're alternating between running and multiple workout stations with equipment that everyone shares. How are the other competitors supposed to avoid getting her diarrhea all over themselves when she's shitting and dripping all over an event like this?

Exactly. Seeing this pic, I really cannot understand how anyone legitimately defends the shitter

I’d bet about 3% of the population can even budge the sled. Now add in running sub 6 minute mile paces to be elite.

It’s a running race but you have to be a unit to be competitive in Hyrox


Note: the company itself sucks balls

Come on. Hyrox is a mostly running event that for 99.9% of people is longer than an hour.

That is an endurance event.

It’s a VO2 max and threshold event over a longer time domain

The Rules should be amended to Require and Command immediate and absolute Disqualification and immediate removal from the site of competition to a place where medical attention is obtained.
