Speaking exclusively to the BBC, Hyrox athlete Joanna Wietrzyk suggested her determination to win a race in Beijing in September had clouded her judgement.
Roughly halfway through her event last month, Wietrzyk suffered a bout of diarrhoea and images of faecal matter on parts of her body were widely shared online.
"I didn't really think about those around me… the decision that I made in hindsight was the wrong decision and I'm truly sorry for everyone that I did affect," the athlete told the BBC.
The 24-year-old said that the experience and subsequent backlash was "traumatic", and that she considered walking away from the sport.
