I understand this to an extent, but not the post competition behavior.
I was a runner in secondary school. You’re taught to push through pain and discomfort to reach the finish. If 24 year old me shat myself whilst participating in the Olympics, I can imagine possibly panicking and deciding to continue. You have to make instantaneous decisions with unwavering followthrough whilst competing as second guessing can make the difference between ranking first or third. You don’t overthink, just decide, execute, and move forward.
I cannot imagine bragging about it later on social media. I’d be mortified. Hell, I AM mortified for her.
Well, it wasn’t so much the shitting. She could have handled it right then and nobody would have heard about it
It was the smearing shit across the entire venue, other athletes, and all the equipment, to the point where they had to do an overnight emergency carpet replacement. Then going home and bragging about it in a now deleted post, humiliating both Hyrox and her (now former) sponsor Puma as the internet was flooded with thousands of shocking pictures and videos
Pooma
Pants
She gave a shit about it!
you make it sound like she running around intentionally finger painting it smearing it on people and things. thats not even remotely the story here.
Well, she got it all over her arms and hands then actively smeared it into equipment other people had to use. This went on for like 40 minutes. Then she publicly bragged about doing so.
Your interpretation of the story is that she was unaware this was happening?
nope nor does that mean im going to humour your insinuation as it would be ableist for failing to acknowlege nuances of the real story troll
Okay, well let us know when you’re comfortable revealing the hidden truth that will change everyone’s mind
It’s not that far off really.
I need some context - or perhaps I don’t?
idk what hyrox is but it sounds like drain cleaner
An Australian shitting all over china, you can’t make this shit up…
Na just in a Maccas.
She literally gave a shit and now people are mad. What a fucking circus.
Is Puma a nuclear superpower?
One girl, one hyrox.
Hyrox girl
So, I realise being in a gym makes this far worse than, say, an endurance athlete, but do you think part of the reason she was given so much shit (lol) is because nobody takes Hyrox seriously?
I’d imagine an athlete doing this sort of thing in a more popular sport would face more criticism and ridicule. If anything, Hyrox being niche is probably saving her from a lot of attention and outrage.
