Over the weekend, a video of a triathlete asking 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 several additional problems along the road.
No, I’m referring about something a little more humiliating than injuries or dehydration. Olympic triathlete Taylor Knibb saw 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.
