A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
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
I need some context - or perhaps I don't?
A Hyrox athlete (this incident making rounds on the internet is how I first heard of the sport) shat herself during a competition but kept going and won, using shared equipment with feces streaming down her legs. She proclaimed “a win is a win” and only apologized after backlash online and losing her sponsorship from Puma.
Thanks.
What a niche drama.
I thought this was about Trump, somehow. Wouldn't that be nice.
They put only the best diapers on him. Very beautiful diapers. That's why it doesn't run down his legs and get all over the oval office.
Not sure about that last part
Wait did she really have a Puma sponsorship, they really coulda taken a W here with their PumaPants line
A Hyrox athlete
A hyro-rah-what now?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyrox
Hyrox (stylized as HYROX) is an indoor fitness competition that combines 8 km of running and 8 functional workout stations. Contestants alternate between running and functional exercises.
Oooh.
Puma are such morons for this. A win is a win, you want her to stop? This is a fucking winner. Puma is diarrhea of shoes anyway 😂😂
Nike should sign her instead.
"Just doodoo it."
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.”
Gary Lineker once shat himself at the world cup. Don't recall him ever having to apologise.
idk what hyrox is but it sounds like drain cleaner
Or those ~~knockoff~~ Oreos—Hydrox.
Edit: Hydrox came out first!
That name must be why Oreos became more popular. Who wants to eat a "Hydrox"
Didn't that brand come first? I'm too lazy to Google it.
You’re right! Oreos came out 4 years after Hydrox. So Oreos are the knockoff. TIL.
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.

Shame and embarrassment work in strange ways and everyone is different. She's clearly very goal-directed and a very capable athlete. I can't imagine all the extremes of emotion she had to feel with the backlash that followed.
Excuse me for saying this, but what a shitty thing to happen all around.
An Australian shitting all over china, you can't make this shit up...
If I'm remembering correctly it was Thor Björnsson who once said "Sometimes you shit yourself. It happens. And then you come back the next day and lift again, and it might happen again, but that's okay."
She literally gave a shit and now people are mad. What a fucking circus.
Is Puma a nuclear superpower?
Did she try some local street food kinda like this? I'm just joking around.
Dude, I love foot cheese burgers!
Found em!
