yeah, a long history of public shitting at strenuous events, particularly women. Her issues was it's all over the indoor events track and equipment,

Wietrzyk isn’t alone: other public mishaps published over the past three decades include the 1998 London Marathon winner, Catherina McKeirnan, who dodged cameras along the way while suffering several bouts of diarrhoea. Paula Radcliffe, the winner of the 2005 London Marathon, wasn’t so lucky; she was publicly caught relieving herself of debilitating stomach pains by the road near the finish line, blaming it on too much gluten-free pasta and grilled salmon the night before. In 2024 the US athlete Taylor Knibb won the Dubai T100 despite having to relieve herself during the race, uttering the immortal line to a camera operator: “I just shit myself … so can you not get my ass? Thank you.”
