Barra - Hyrox : She Will Never Never Ever Live This Down · Lisa & Russell

  Speaker 1: My industry is sport. Sometimes I'm embarrassed about being involved
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: and what actually happens and how serious people take stuff
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: and how important they think it is. You've got to
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: gain some perspective here, some wisdom. There was money in this,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: wasn't there? 20 grand on the line or something? It
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: must have been big money to do this because this
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: poor woman, she will never, ever live this down. It
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: was telecast too. Have you heard of High Rocks? I
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: have now. Yeah, we have as of this week. It's
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: like an indoor event where it's sort of multiple challenges,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: I suppose you'd say, and push-ups and chin-ups. It's like
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: a hardcore circuit at the gym sort of thing. Is
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: it like a tough mud, but without the mud? Yeah,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: it's a bit like that. And I'm glad you mentioned mud,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: because maybe that's the term we'll use going forward. So
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: it was the High Rocks Beijing Pro Women's Race. And
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: you're right, it's big money. And 22-year-old Australian girl, let's
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: call her Joanne. Because that's her name. Yeah. I'm not
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: saying a surname. It's hard to pronounce anyway. She pushed
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: through the pain and something else. And what happened was
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: she visibly soiled herself. Oh, no. We don't need sound effects. Oh, no.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Is that a sound effect? I hope that was a
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: sound effect. Ultimately, she did win. But in these events,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: there's shared equipment like rowing machines and mats. Oh, my God.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: And so people are rolling in, you know, like, and
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is not the first time this sort
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: of thing has happened. It's happened to me when you
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: just got to leave the ground. But the funny thing was,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: why didn't High Rocks stop her and say, listen, you've
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: got to stop. You've got to go to the shower.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: You know, like. Yeah. Get some wipes. And the reason
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: they didn't was because High Rocks has rules against spitting,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: blowing your nose, dropping rubbish. You're not even allowed to
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: splash water on yourself, apparently, but there's no rule covering
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: SH1 too. But explosive diarrhea is okay. That's right. I
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: think it's just not in the rules because it never
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: came up as a possibility that someone would do that
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: and carry on. There's 20 grand in it. That's not
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: enough for the indignity. Personally, I'd rather win that on
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: a scratchy, but, you know, there's 20 grand on the line.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: It's a grey area or a brown area. I would
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: have gone home and not left the house. I would
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: have left the house for three years. I would go.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: I'd move to another country now, the poor old Joanne. No,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: the internet is everywhere. There's nowhere to go in the world. Oh, God.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: It's being replayed everywhere. So it's enormously confronting. So I'm
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: not sure... Yeah, I think obviously the lawyers are now
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: trying to write in the rules for that bit that
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: you said. So they didn't expect that to happen. Yeah.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: And rule number seven, the obvious. Remember when it happened
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: to Deke in a marathon, a Commonwealth Games marathon? Deke.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: He just kept splashing water back there. Oh, good. But
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: he was running a marathon. It happened halfway through. The
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: great Rob Deke is still in 1982. And he won.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: He had a serious stomach problem. Well, so did this girl.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Got serious diarrhea. And he ended up still winning the race.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: It's happened a few times, actually. There was a famous
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: World Cup incident, Gary Lineker, the same thing, playing for
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: England against Ireland. So she's not the first person to
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: do it, but she was the first person to keep going. Well,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: other competitors were flabbergasted, and the commentators, that she wasn't stopped.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: And they said, oh, we've sterilised the area after, well,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: a bit late. And I would be, yeah. It's been
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: a big week for sporting equipment, hasn't it, really? Because
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: they sterilized the rowing machine. You know where I'm going
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: with that? No, there's more? Can I mention Sydney Sweeney? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: The whole world is at the moment. Sydney Sweeney does anything,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: and the internet blows up. Strategically placed sporting equipment. So, yeah,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: big week for sporting equipment. Something to ponder as you
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: go to... It's not really that important, Jo. I'm not
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: going to ponder it for long. Thank you. All right.
