Canadian bobsledder Heather Moyse takes a bath in a Sochi garbage bin
CANADIAN bobsledder Heather Moyse wanted to take a bath in Sochi, but she couldn’t find a tub. So she switched to an interesting backup plan and shared it with the internet.
CANADIAN bobsledder Heather Moyse wanted to take a bath.
An Epsom salt bath, to be specific. Many athletes use Epsom salt to help their bodies recover quickly after a day of competition.
There was only one problem. Moyse couldn’t find a bathtub anywhere in Sochi.
Faced with this harsh reality, the athlete switched to a backup plan. She filled a garbage bin with hot water and Epsom salt, then jumped in.
We’re not sure that was the most hygienic option, and we’ve never seen anyone bathe with clothes and a beanie on, but who are we to question the judgment of a former gold medallist?
Moyse also plays rugby, soccer and track. She’s a busy athlete, so if she wants an Epsom salt bath, she gets one. Those are the rules.
No bath tubs in the Mountain Village... So just chillin' in a garbage bin doing a hot Epsom salt 'bath'! #NoExcuses pic.twitter.com/HwdyaPUO7K
