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

Do they really?

Um yes? They're kinda famous for it? Figure skaters often get hip replacements in their twenties. Ballet dancers end up with all manner of issues. The marathon runner I know had a hip replacement at 40. And studies show that people who exercise to such a degree can develop heart issues.

As I said, we are not made to exercise to extremes over long periods of time. We are made to hunt and gather and roam over long distances.

She only apologised because she lost her main sponsor. She didn’t care until then.

Yes, a trigger warning would have been nice!

I think the thread title was a warning about the content.🙄

You think dog poo is worse than humans? So you’d rather step in human poo than dog poo seriously 😂

It's perfectly reasonable not to want to step in any kind of shit while going about one's life. It's not a race to the bottom (no pun intended).

She has a remakably male build.

Grim. 💩

I heard Nutella is going to be her new sponsor.

Pampers could replace them.

Apparently they are penalised for spitting, nostril clearing, littering and water abuse (whatever that means), but not crapping yourself! Sounds like they all belong in a farmyard.🤢

Do you think they're a trans woman?

PickNMixwe · 18/09/2026 20:22

Could it have been a tactic to win? Defecating over the equipment would have slowed down her competitors, the smell as well?

Take a look at the physique

I don't think she has a male physique.
She looks like an incredibly strong woman. Nothing about her face looks at all masculine.

Orcadolp · 19/09/2026 06:59

She was being really defiant afterwards and saying it was winning at all costs. She only changed her tune when her main sponsor dropped her.

glad to see that she has now changed her tune and made a public apology and given up her first place.

Does that mean she is now Number Two?
