Triathlon star Taylor Knibb fought through an uncomfortable and embarrassing moment to win a world title this week.
The triathlete completed the inaugural T100 Triathlon World Championship Final in Dubai, celebrating a championship at the end after literally pooping herself.
Knibb was recorded asking a cameraman not to film her backside as she had just soiled herself.
“I just s**t myself. Could you not get my a**?” she asked.
“Thank you… Sorry,” she said after they acquiesced.

Such occurrences are not uncommon at triathlons. Tyler Mislawchick vomited an unbelievable 10 times during his participation at the 2024 Olympic games in Paris this Summer while several other athletes are known to have gone through similar messy situations during competition.
Taylor Knibb Got Paid A Lot For Her Troubles
Taylor Knibb would continue through the embarrassing inconvenience to finish the event with a time of 3:29:17.
The world title made it all worth it, as she was seen smiling and high-fiving fans. However, the cameraman at the finish line was probably not informed of her ordeal as he shot a close-up of her backside as she crossed, showing some obvious poop stains.
Knibb did not address the incident directly but did seem to reflect on the struggle with her bowel movements after a reporter asked whether she felt like she had “conquered this race mentally.”
“Well, I think it was more physically,” she replied. “The mental is almost the easier part. You just have to deal with your body.”
While her basal moment was regrettable, Taylor Knibb has completed a perfect T100 campaign with four wins and is $310,000 richer.
