I guess it happens to marathon runners all the time, but they’re generally on public streets outdoors (with the airflow advantages that implies) and the worst case is stepping in it and getting it on their shoes. This is a much more up-close sport (and indoors), like to the point where other competitors might have needed to do pushups in the same spot she did them. They tore out the carpet after her race.
It doesn’t help that she posted “Go hard or go home. A win is a win” while getting an IV immediately afterwards.


Never trust anything the British came up with during rationing.
