Moment Olympic triathlete Taylor Knibb tells camera ‘I just s*** myself… can you not get my ass’ live on TV mid-race
THIS is the moment Olympic triathlete Taylor Knibb tells a camera during a live TV race: “I just s**t myself… can you not get my ass?”
American ace Knibb, 26, is a two-time Olympic silver medalist at Tokyo and Paris in the mixed relay event.
Outside the Games, she is one of the world’s top triathletes.
And Knibb cemented her status as the globe’s best by winning the inaugural T100 world championship on Saturday.
She stormed to victory in Dubai after previous wins in San Francisco, Ibiza and Las Vegas.
A second-place finish would have been enough to take the title.
But Knibb’s resilience saw her become champion while also winning the race.
However, she was forced to overcome major adversity during the final 18km run.
As temperatures hit 31 degrees, Knibb became the focus of the camera’s attention.
Yet she was eager not to be filmed after revealing she had suffered a bodily malfunction.
As she ran on live TV, she turned to the camera before calmly saying: “I just s**t myself… can you not get my ass?”
The camera operator duly obliged as the race continued, with Knibb heroically going on to cross the finish line in first.

And after swimming 2km at the start, while also cycling 80km, she later admitted it had been a rough experience from start to finish.
Knibb said: “I woke up and messaged my coach that I feel rough. I was like, ‘Oh this is going to be a bad day’.
“I was kind of shocked, it only came together in the last 3km but it was brutal out there.
“I think it was more physical (than mental today). That was easier as you don’t have to deal with your body.”
