'A win is a win' says athlete who didn't let a little diarrhea keep her from finishing in first place

Athletes are asked to push themselves during HYROX events .

Sometimes they go beyond the expectations of the organization that puts these races together, races which combine both running and functional workout stations.

That was the case during a competition in Beijing this past weekend.

The first place winner, Joanna Wietrzyk, bravely battled through a little mid-race diarrhea and refused to let it slow her down.

The 24-year-old Australian reportedly finished the event in 1 hour, 1 minute and 23 seconds, according to the NY Post.

The mess running down her legs and any possible contamination it may cause wasn’t a concern.

Of course, an event where someone pushes themselves to the point of diarrhea and beyond is going to get some attention and, of course, some of that attention is going to be negative.

She appears to have felt some of that negative heat herself after posting on Instagram to celebrate her victory.

She wrote in a now-deleted post , "Go hard or go home they say … a win is a win.

In all seriousness, thank you for all the support.

I'll be back soon x." Jokes post-diarrhea race win are frowned upon by some, it turns out.

Are these sore losers or people genuinely disgusted by watching an athlete go the distance after an accident? HYROX is taking the matter seriously and looking at themselves to see how they can approve their procedures surrounding these unforeseen incidents.
