The ongoing Rio 2016 Olympics in Brazil recorded a bizarre incident of an athlete pooing in the course of a competition which he continued despite the shame and humour.
Yohann Diniz
A French athlete collapsed during the 50km walk after suffering from stomach trouble – only to get back to his feet and finish the race.
Yohann Diniz, the world record holder in the event, was leading the field in the 45th minute when a camera picked up on him beginning to struggle.
An hour later he collapsed to the floor, lying there motionless for a few seconds before dragging himself to his feet and moving on with the competition.

French newspaper L’Equipe reports Diniz, 38, had stomach problems in the lead-up to the race but was undeterred and partook anyway.
His undeniable grit is earning the current world record holder a lot of fans.
