Page 5 | To think this is absolutely disgusting and she shouldn’t have been allowed to continue!

Having competed in Hyrox, you are so focused that you just jump on the rowing machine without really taking it in. I would be furious if I sat in someone else’s shit 🤮

At my next race I will definitely be sacrificing a few seconds for a “shit check”

And to think of all the criticism that Paula Radcliffe received from stopping off at the side of the road just for a wee!

Whilst I'm not remotely suggesting that it was anything more than a very unfortunate accident for Joanna, I wouldn't put it past certain people with scat paraphilias getting ideas from this.

It wasn't a wee.

Seems she is a top “elite” level in Hyrox, which brings money and sponsorship, which I think is why they didn’t pull her out.

There are some awful photos, other competitors with flecks of shit on them, waste on the rowing machine, she’s on the floor where other people lie.

She should have been pulled out. Why your own common sense would fail you I have no idea.

Will be interesting to see if the companies that sponsor her or who sponsor due to her will be reacting to having their names associated with a woman with shit running down her legs.

Anyone saying that it’s ok obviously hasn’t seen some of the photos posted online. She literally has shit all down her legs. It’s obscene. She obviously doesn’t care (which is so very odd anyway) but as soon as it happened officials should have stepped in and removed her. I don’t care how much hard work she put in, other competitors did too and their event was spoiled. I honestly think she should be banned from further competitions.

I agree. If you haven’t seen, it wasn’t just that she had an accident largely contained to her underwear/shorts. Her leg is literally covered in it. I honestly cannot believe it continued. Totally gross.

No, she's actually sponsored by poo-ma believe it or not 😂😂

I'm sure I've seen her working out in Dunplop gym gear - and she's never out of her Shite Fox jacket in everyday life.

Kidsandhouse · 15/09/2026 14:51

Absolutely disgusting! No way should she have been allowed to touch another piece of equipment until she cleaned herself up. Completely unhygienic and absolutely unacceptable anyone following her would be expected to just get on with it.

Runners doing it is one thing, no one has to touch anything after them...

moleinthehouse · 15/09/2026 14:53

LondonLass2026 · 15/09/2026 14:41

Omg.

She did NOT shit over any equipment or in any gym - those are fake / Ai / computer mock ups. The ONLY place she shat herself was while running. Partner and I watched it, a few weeks ago now.

An official statement has been put out and you are trying to suggest this never happened

The pros aren’t shitting themselves though. It would be big news if the front runners in eg the olympics, Tour de France were finishing covered in shit.

Show quote history

I wouldn't bet on it TBH... Plenty of stories around the TdF of riders having a really bad day on the road and the mechanics having to do an extra special hose down of their bikes after the stage.

Well, I do think it’s gross, but can’t get too upset about it until we clean up our public spaces. Dog shit on pavements and in parks. Worse than human shit.

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

cloudbabies · 15/09/2026 15:00

Saw this yesterday and agree it was absolutely horrendous and yes of course she didn’t purposely mean to have diarrhoea but seriously how unhygienic? People were having to touch the same equipment, get down on the floor where there was human shit, I would’ve refused flat out to continue if I was the shitter or another athlete

How did you watch it a few weeks ago if it happened last weekend 🤔

Sartre · 15/09/2026 15:06

Marathon runners and cyclists do this often BUT they aren’t generally affecting people around them (aside from anyone who has the misfortune of smelling them I guess). This woman shit all over the equipment so of course she won, who wanted to use it after her?! Also she won but nobody will remember that, she’ll forever be remembered as the gross fucker who shat herself and didn’t leave the competition.

HJ40 · 15/09/2026 15:06

It’s absolutely fucking disgusting. As per pp, I’d seen the headlines, but now I’ve seen the photos 🤮. It’s far, far worse than I’d imagined. There is simply no comparison with outdoor cycling or running. She should have been straight off.
Have any other competitors protested the results?

GoodGirlFaith · 15/09/2026 15:06

The athlete shouldn't be shamed for this and I find this thread to be in very bad taste. And no, I will not scroll on by because I want to comment to that affect.

I have just read a few news stories about this and it appears that the organisers (Hydrox) have made a statement that the event was unprecedented and they made a mistake in not reacting immediate during the race.

The athlete herself has also made a statement.

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

So you don’t think she should apologise for negatively affecting other competitors? How bizarre.

FeliciaFancybottom · 15/09/2026 15:11

She should be ashamed of carrying on covered in shit. The right thing to do would be to forfeit and return to the changing rooms to clean herself up.
No one else should have been made to participate with someone who had shit running down her legs.

It’s not bizarre when you consider all the people whose lives have been ruined or ended by public online shaming. I agree, let’s lay off her. No one deserves the weight of this criticism.

I do dog sports, if my dog goes in the ring, we're automatically disqualified.

Maybe we need similar for humans.

It's a sad reflection on our society if athletes are so without self awareness that we need to build that into sports as a rule.
