Nice of her to apologize, but this is really on the officials and the organization for not pulling her out.
High-level athletes are always going to want to compete. They’ll play through injury and discomfort to win. If it were up to them, they would and do put themselves in danger of further injury just to get out there and play. That’s why coaches and staff are the ones who make decisions to bench players for injury and it’s not left up to the players themselves.
I agree, it’s not on her to withdraw herself from the competition. I don’t think she owes an apology. If she won, she won. If it was unsafe for the other competitors the judges should have pulled her out.
I dont know. If literal shit is leaking from my ass to the point that i, and everything i touch, gets smeared with it, i believe i would have the good sense to seek out a bathroom. You know, instead of touching more things with my plague hands, and somehow expecting to win because i made my opponents gag from the shit smell.

You’ll never get an unexpected and devastating 2nd place finish at your first Ironman triathlon with that attitude.
