Nothing stopped Yohann Diniz on Friday.

During the men's 50-kilometer event, the French race walker—who has dealt with stomach issues in the past, as relayed by Brian Blickenstaff of Vice Sports—appeared to defecate (warning: graphic image and NSFW language in links) but continued on in the race.

Another angle shows that Diniz could have been bleeding:

Later, Diniz passed out.

Upon regaining consciousness, the 38-year-old gutted out an eighth-place finish.
