Joanna Wietrzyk has issued an apology after continuing to take part in a Hyrox fitness race following an episode in which she soiled herself, the athlete confirmed. Wietrzyk has also relinquished the win she recorded at the event held last week.
Hyrox is a competitive fitness series that combines running with a sequence of functional workouts. The format attracts elite and amateur athletes who compete for time across a standardized set of events.
Wietrzyk said she was sorry for what happened and has chosen to forfeit the result from the competition. No further details about any disciplinary measures or changes to official results were disclosed alongside her statement.
The athlete's apology and decision to give up the win conclude the immediate public response to the incident. Organisers and governing bodies typically confirm final standings and any sanctions following such developments, but no additional information has been released at this time.
