German cyclist Nils Politt paused during the Olympic road race in Paris to use a café toilet due to an upset stomach, an incident that went viral on social media. Cyclists in the Olympics face challenges including eating, drinking, and bathroom breaks, consuming between 6,000-8,000 calories during races and relying on lightweight musettes containing food options, water, and energy drinks provided by support staff. Politt, who finished in 70th place, later attributed his discomfort to consuming large amounts of water and energy gels during the race.
