A triathlon racer has shockingly admitted she soiled herself en route to winning the inaugural T100 Triathlon World Championship crown.

As she approached the finish line of the running leg with just 2.3km to go, Knibb – who won a second Olympic silver medal in Paris in the mixed event – turned to one of the cameras filming the race to make the surprise admission.

“I’m just pissing myself off,” she told the cameras, “so you can’t piss me off?”

Knibb practically flew the course, finishing the grueling 100km event in 3:29.17, while second-placed Julie Derron crossed the line in 3:31.08 behind the American.

Knibb entered the race with Swiss athlete Derron and Australian Ashleigh Gentle as her biggest rivals, and the two pursuers remained within striking distance near the head of the pack during the swim leg.

The American actually lost a few places when switching from swimming to cycling, but she quickly found herself in typically dominant form and increased her lead, and by kilometer 65 she was 1:37 ahead on its rivals.

By the end of the cycling element, Knibb was up to 2 minutes 46 seconds ahead, which was incredible his narrowest margin of lead to that point in any of the four races in the series.

Gentle, impressively, started to ride Knibb but started hitting the wall and after closing the gap to 50 seconds, she slowed down and was reportedly forced to walk and hold her stomach.

As Knibb’s closest competitor began to slow down, it opened the way for Knibb to claim her fourth resounding victory from four in incredible form, and her shock admission before crossing the line highlights just how 100 km race took a physical toll on his body.

Before the race even started, Knibb felt far from 100 percent, as she revealed she had clinched first place and the first world championship title.

“I woke up and texted my coach that I felt bad, and I was like, ‘Oh, this is going to be a bad day,'” Knibb said.

“So, I was a little shocked!” It only came together in the last 3km when everyone collapsed, but it was very step by step. It was brutal out there, so have fun guys! (which ran the next day)’

The American added: “I think my dad was more nervous than me today… I was like, ‘Oh wow, you’re really nervous, like it’s spreading…’

“But I have a fantastic team of individuals and I also have a lot of sponsors. So it’s just a huge team effort and I’m very grateful to everyone who supports me and believes in me.”
