To think this is absolutely disgusting and she shouldn’t have been allowed to continue!

Any MNers within sniffing distance would almost certainly keel over in horror, and have to be revived with the strongest smelling salts... lots of folk here are disgusted enough when people have a poo in a locked enclosed toilet cubicle!!

I suppose it would if you are 5 years old!

I regrettably inform you, that, in this brief and largely meaningless interwebz inteaction...

it is not I who is finding it hard to master the skill of comprehension

Not when it's shaming someone. We are grown ups, not little kids in school laughing at a kid who wet themselves in PE.

Im not sure what you’re finding so hard to understand- B, obviously, why are you wanting her to be continually shamed for something that’s done and over. She can’t turn back time

She stopped and had a shit at the side of the road, she didn’t have it running down her legs.

Yes you are entitled to your opinion, but you see the irony in the fact you were responding to my comment on your post that there should be nothing further to say about it.

Gave me a wee giggle anyway

I think Paula something did this on a London Marathon. Pretty gross. 🤢

Okay, to be honest, I've already stated my informed opinion

There should not be anything further to write/say about this.

or anything else, ever

For continuing with her event and getting shit all overcharged equipment and spaces? Absolutely shameful.
Disagree. The organisers should have intervened and have put out a statement to that affect.

Again, unless she's a complete idiot, she shouldn't need anyone else to tell her you don't just carry on with shit running down your legs. You leave, clean yourself up and see a doctor. That she didn't do that is unbelievable.
She is responsible for what happened, not the organisers, no matter what you or they say.

Like I said, I was pointing out the difference.

Do you want me shamed?

Okay, to be honest, I tend not assume she is a 'loon.' Never met her.

It's unfortunate if you shit yourself during an event but she shouldn't have been allowed to continue until she'd cleaned herself up. It's a health hazard and really quite disgusting. Not at all the same as Paula Radcliffe squatting on the side of the road. This woman was literally smearing shit all over the floor and the equipment that other people then had to use.
Apparently, they are given a penalty for spitting but shitting is ok. Not anymore it's not as the rules have been changed going forward to make it clear this is not acceptable. Hyrox are saying she shouldn't have been allowed but the local organisers interpreted the rules incorrectly.
But honestly, what was she thinking? She still thinks it was ok. I'm glad she's happy that she'll be forever famous for being covered in shit like that because she's seriously not famous for winning as much as being a literal pile of shit.

Just because this is your opinion does not make it right.

She absolutely should be ashamed of herself, not for the accident itself, these things happen so it seems... but for the complete disregard for the health and safety of those behind her, she 100% should be ashamed of herself.

Disgusting woman.

I cannot comprehend thinking this is ok... faeces all over the equipment for everyone else? It's a total safety hazard and she should've been disqualified in my opinion.

She should not be shamed for what?
For what people are trying to shame her for - see, this thread!

For shitting herself? Of course she should not be shamed.
No, she should not.

For continuing with her event and getting shit all overcharged equipment and spaces? Absolutely shameful.
Disagree. The organisers should have intervened and have put out a statement to that affect.

Oh, and it’s not up to you whether people discuss the situation, thankfully.
I am entitled to my opinion and entitled to post it here or anywhere else and also - I already pre-emptied these predicable responses, see 'no, I will not scroll on.'

I woukd not want to be known as the woman who had shit smeared everywhere!!!
This incident will follow her around forever!
Also its a major health and safety issue.

I think the minute my stomach started to turn i would have made my excuses and quit, world record or not!

"it's done now though, isn't it" 😆

which part are you referring to?

A/you trying and failing at claiming things my post didn't say?

B/or the fact that she accidentally shit herself, but decided to carry on anywhy and smear her poo over equipment?

my sane reply to Option B is "of course it (the shitting everywhere) had been done, else the thread would not exist"

Absolutely disgusting 🫣

"... That's why top athletes have such trouble with their bodies for the rest of their lives..."

Do they really?

Oh my god, this is foul.

If you're exercising so hard that you shit yourself, then you're exercising too hard. Human bodies weren't made for such intense exercise. We were made to roam over long distances to hunt and gather. Roam, not run as fast as possible. That's why top athletes have such trouble with their bodies for the rest of their lives. There was a marathon runner on my office, and even though he had the body type for it - very tall and thin - he still needed a hip replacement at 40.

Exercising so hard that you shit yourself is utterly ridiculous.

.

The ONLY place she shat herself was while running. Partner and I watched it, a few weeks ago now

I thought this only happened in Beijing a couple of days ago. Have you got the right incident?

Also there are 8 separate running intervals after each of which there are 8 different exercise stations so it has to come into contact with the equipment and/or floor

And I beleive the venue was the National Speed Skating Oval indoors

That is so bloody grim. A bit ironic really that she's saying go hard or go home...... that certainly wasn't hard was it. She obviously had an issue with her gut so surely she would have known. She should have been made to leave and sort herself out, it's utterly disgusting to hear that other competitors had specks of her shit on them.
