Abstract:
According to news on September 14, in the recent HYROX Beijing Station women's elite competition, Australian player Joanna still finished the race and won the championship despite having fecal incontinence. The track and equipment were contaminated with excrement. The referee only reminded to detour but did not stop the competition, causing subsequent players to compete in a polluted environment. This matter has been widely discussed.
Subsequently, hyrox world’s official account issued a statement on overseas social media to directly respond to the public opinion controversy about athletes. The statement emphasized that dissatisfaction cannot be directed at the athletes themselves. "Those who threaten violence or incite acts that harm athletes will be permanently banned from participating in all HYROX events. We are currently verifying and locating relevant personnel and will take appropriate measures."
This statement also pushed public opinion to another climax. Some netizens questioned the authoritarianism and arrogance of HYROX officials. "If these opinions are raised, it will be regarded as hurting elite athletes, which is authoritarian, arrogant and a verbal threat to all participants."
The "BUG" column found that on social media, many contestants posted screenshots of HYROX refunds and said, "Because they lost confidence in hygiene and safety guarantees, they requested to withdraw from the competition and receive a full refund. And when they withdraw due to concerns about event management, why should the players bear the cancellation fees?"
According to the HYROX fitness running applet, tickets are divided into two categories: participation tickets and spectator tickets. The registration fee for a single group is 799 yuan, the registration fee for a double group is 1,499 yuan, and the registration fee for a four-person relay group is 1,999 yuan. Audience tickets are charged at 80 yuan per session per day.
