Holly Archer completed the London Marathon in less than three hours.
But before she crossed the finish line in 2 hours and 39 minutes, Archer contended with some unexpected commentary related to her appearance.
Archer appeared to wear a pair of running briefs as she ran the approximately 26-mile race, much to the apparent ire of some spectators.
A video posted to Archer’s social media platform was inundated with comments.
Some social media users claimed the 31-year-old seemed “uncomfortable,” while others argued elements of the outfit closely resembled a woman’s swimsuit.
There were even claims that Archer “should have worn clothes” as she competed in the annual event.
Archer caught wind of the chatter. In a separate TikTok post, the British runner responded to critics by asking, “Should I have worn a tracksuit?” Archer also cited the conditions, saying the humidity reached 78 percent as temperatures climbed into the mid-70s.
More than 56,000 participants finished this year’s London Marathon.
