Speaking exclusively to the BBC, Joanna Wietrzyk says her determination to win the Hyrox race in September had clouded her judgement.
In her first interview since the incident, Joanna Wietrzyk told the BBC she takes responsibility for it but did not deserve such a severe backlash.
Hyrox moves closer to its "ultimate ambition" of gaining Olympic and Paralympic status after entering into a partnership with World Triathlon.
Some doubts were expressed about the hygiene measures put in place during this event, but the athlete was also praised for continuing the race to the end, despite the difficulties.
Joanna Wietrzyk has also forfeited her win in the fitness competition after competing last week.
