Malaysian DISQUALIFIED for Restroom Break, Australian Wins After Defecating Mid-Race

A scandal happened during the Hyrox competition in China where an Australian woman quite literally shat herself during the game and was oddly rewarded for it somehow. Another bizarre story is that a Malaysian man was disqualified for going to the restroom and was late to the start of the game in Bangkok. 

An Australian competitor at HYROX Beijing suffered sudden fecal incontinence mid-race due to intense physical stress — but still pushed through and finished strong.

The Australian woman managed to break a record in the women’s solo category for a duration of 61 minutes. Despite this, social media users all over the world are criticising the organisers and the athlete for supporting such unhygienic behavior. 

Netizens Upset at Malaysian Disqualified for Call of Nature Break 

He didn't know the rules. You were suppose to shit on the track.

Some are clarifying the situation, citing that one of the important rules of this Hyrox event is for someone to defecate in liquid form while competing with others. Many are concerned regarding the equipment the woman used as other players may be infected with diseases. 

White privilege: you can shit during an indoor sporting event without having to worry of a disqualification while contaminating the venue and the rest of the participants with your disgusting filth.

Others are calling this ruling a racist ruling as the Australian woman was able to still compete after having her literal excrement dripping on the floor due to her being White. An X user says that in lieu of someone’s skin colour, they would not have to worry about disqualification. 

Regardless, many are calling to boycott the organiser as such behavior should not be allowed in any competition.
