Few things in life worth attaining are easy to attain. Overcoming obstacles is part of what brings meaning to achieving something. In sprinter Kendall Ellis’s case, one obstacle before she could claim a spot on the 2024 Olympic team was needing to escape a malfunctioning portable toilet.
I was also particularly amused by the opening from another report on the incident:
It was a classic case of going from the outhouse to the penthouse.
Oh, sure, that old story. “Outhouse to penthouse”, such a well-worn trope. Happens all the time. Classic.
