Triathlete pleads with cameraman not to film her from behind after ‘s**tting’ herself moments before finish

Over the weekend, a video of a triathlete telling the cameraman not to shoot her from behind after she soiled herself went viral.

One of the hardest and most physically taxing things a person can do in sports is finish a triathlon, and it should come as no surprise that there are numerous other problems along the road.

No, I’m referring to something a little more embarrassing than injuries or dehydration.

Olympic triathlete Taylor Knibb experienced it firsthand as she was at the rear of her race.

The American has participated in the games twice, including this summer, and won silver in the mixed relay competition each time.

Knibb, who is regarded as one of the top triathletes in the world, reached the zenith of her career on Saturday, November 16, when she won first place in Dubai after victories this year in San Francisco, Ibiza, and Las Vegas.

She signed out with a victory, but a second-place finish in Dubai would have also earned her the title, thus it meant she won the first-ever T100 global championship.

It’s not easy to solidify your status as a world champion by winning another triathlon, but she was able to demonstrate her superiority with a strong final 18-kilometer run.

With the 26-year-old battling the intense 31-degree heat, all eyes were on her as the camera pans toward her and tensions were high.

Due to the strain these taxing long-distance races place on every part of the body, Knibb demonstrated that even the greatest are susceptible to one of the frequent occurrences.

She said, “I just s**t myself,” to the cameraman who was filming her as she struggled to the finish line. Do you not understand my a**?

Newcomers frequently experience the physical problem, but if the greatest people in the world are experiencing it, perhaps it’s more widespread than we previously believed.

Knibb finished strong, and the videographer continued to record her top half after she asked him to, creating the weekend’s most viral video.

It turns out that she wasn’t feeling well before the race, and after waking up “rough,” swimming two kilometers and then cycling a further 80 kilometers didn’t help much.

“I messaged my coach that I was feeling difficult after waking up. “Oh, I thought this was going to be a bad day,” she said.

“I was kind of astonished,” Knibb continued, “since everything only came together in the last three kilometers, but it was hard out there.

“I believe that today was more physical than mental. You don’t have to deal with your body, so that was simpler.
