She thought it was a competition of having the runs
The youths told her the coolest kids have drip
She heard she could make money streaming
You’re terrible. Take my updoot.
Am I the only one impressed that she beat everyone else while shitting? Guess everyone else was grossed out.
The article mentioned apparently some people slipped on it
I think if I was competing I’d not even try at that point. Might just dq myself
And using other equipment smeared with poo.
I’d probably lose some seconds deciding whether or not to climb a rope with someone’s shit on it. (Like… I’d quit)
For me, it’s always a race when I have diarrhea
Why it’s called “the runs.”
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.
How did they not disqualify her once there was shit running down her legs?
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.
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”
It’s CrossFit. It’s just got a new name
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.
“Ain’t no rule that says a dog cain’t play basketball while they has diarrhea!”
Don’t runners shit themselves commonly? I’ve seen lots of marathon runners shit themselves. You’d think they’d have something prepared.
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.
Interviewer: How do you feel after winning the Hyrox competition?
Joanna: Relieved!
multiple media outlets report that Wietrzyk’s major sponsor, Puma, is distancing itself from the athlete by quietly removing “Joanna Wietrzyk x PUMA” clothing items from its website.
…
On social media, people have flooded the brand’s comments with plays on “Puma,” such as “Pooma,” “Poopma” and “Poo Ma Pants.”It’s piss like a racehorse.
And that is after the race.
Jesus Christ. Another embarrassment for Australia. I honestly don’t know who’s worse: Shitstirrer or Raygun.
After the Scott Morrison at McDonalds story we all just assume aussies shit themselves. It’s why your PM is always in a floatie.
oi! Bruce!
What’s the good word, mate?
For the morbidly curious, here’s some footage

Damn. Well done to the odd man who sings about poop, puke and pee.
So much worse than it sounds. This was an indoor race and it wasn’t just running. They used “communal equipment such as ropes, sandbags, rowing machines and medicine balls”
She finished first, so there was poop smeared on everything for the racers behind her. She ruined everyone’s race and potentially got people sick.
If it had been intentional, it would have been a brilliant strategy - take an early lead and shit on everything to slow everyone else down.
I can’t stop laughing
It was bad enough that athletes behind her were gagging and trying not to vomit. Now, hyrox did give those athletes time penalties.
Amazing.
Runners often have the shits, it’s just biology
It’s why they’re runners – they frequently have to shit without much warning, so they’ve gotten good at running (to the nearest bathroom or waste receptacle)
I wonder what Usain Bolt’s diet must have been 🤔
I heard he literally ate McDonalds before all big races because on a few occasions nice restaurants gave him diarrhea and he wouldn’t take the chance again. Better to have poor but extremely consistent food.
True, let’s not conflate cause and effect ig.
Runners also run outdoors and don’t share equipment.
She may have been #1 but #2 was right on her heels.
And in her socks. Also her back and arms somehow.
Nice of her to apologize, but this is really on the officials and the organization for not pulling her out.
High-level athletes are always going to want to compete. They’ll play through injury and discomfort to win. If it were up to them, they would and do put themselves in danger of further injury just to get out there and play. That’s why coaches and staff are the ones who make decisions to bench players for injury and it’s not left up to the players themselves.
I agree, it’s not on her to withdraw herself from the competition. I don’t think she owes an apology. If she won, she won. If it was unsafe for the other competitors the judges should have pulled her out.
I dont know. If literal shit is leaking from my ass to the point that i, and everything i touch, gets smeared with it, i believe i would have the good sense to seek out a bathroom. You know, instead of touching more things with my plague hands, and somehow expecting to win because i made my opponents gag from the shit smell.
That’s what you’re saying as a lay person, but imagine being a world-class athlete, in their prime, who’s been training for this stuff for decades. Race day shows up, you feel fine at the start, little queesiness, are you gonna let that stop you? She probably trusted a fart to be just a fart, and once that happens… well. Are you gonna run off in shame? Or will you adopt the mindset of “well, the worst already happened, might as well keep going.” She’s got athlete brain, she wants to win, she’s been training for years. I understand it.
I really think that the judges should’ve stepped in. Indoors? Shared equipment? Judges should’ve put a stop to that. People are kinda crazy at that high-end level of competition, they want to win at any cost. We just found out that shitting yourself in public was a cost she was willing to pay.
I understand that being a top tier athlete comes with a lot of ambition, determination and desire to win, but there is no single win worth being the woman who literally shat all over herself, the shared equipment, and indirectly her competitors, in the public eye for the rest of her career. That has to occur to someone in that position as well, no matter how in the zone they are.
Well you saw that in the immediate aftermath, she was still proud of her win, and she saw it as a moment of perseverance. It’s a terrible thing to shit oneself in public, but with her athlete brain, in the immediate aftermath, in the hospital, with all those endorphins and dopamine flooding her system, she saw it as a badge of honor. People are over here defending the actions of Lindsey Clancy whilst being in an altered mental state, I think we can give the same to an athlete that wanted to win at any personal cost.
But yeah, judges should’ve stepped in. If it was an outdoor marathon, and the worst thing that resulted from it was another runner potentially stepping in it… That’s one thing. But she got shit on the hands, butt, arms, of other competitors. That’s foul. Judges, who were not in an altered mental state, should’ve stopped her. They’re who we should really be looking at.
You’ll never get an unexpected and devastating 2nd place finish at your first Ironman triathlon with that attitude.

___look up Julie Moss
It’s wild that she just kept on competing. Call me crazy but once I shit my pants in front of thousands of people I immediately get the fuck out if there.
She got the runs, not the stops.
If I could give more than one upvote…well played!
And that’s why you’re not a champion! Every winner shits their pants!
Good enough for POTUS is good enough for my household.
USA! USA! USA!
WE’RE #2!
many long distance cyclists piss and shit in their knicks.
I’ll never look at those Spandex’d cyclists the same way 😶
It’s why they’re always so butthurt about traffic on roadways.
Just don’t get that one dude who’ll stare you in the eye and try to outshit you
You know what? I’m going to give myself a little treat today and not read this article!
It’s guaranteed to be a shit article.
I’m sure she didn’t want to shit herself, so she’s goof.
Edit I meant good, but goof works too
