@latest.new11: Hyrox World Champion Joanna Wietrzyk Announces Her Return to Racing After a “Very Hard” Few Weeks Hyrox world champion Joanna Wietrzyk, 22, is going back to competition. On Wednesday, Oct. 28, she announced her return in an Instagram video. It is her first race since Sept. 12, when she became ill during Hyrox Beijing and kept competing. She will race in the Elite 15 division in Hamburg, Germany, on Friday, Oct. 30. In the video, she said she has had six to eight weeks to reflect. She again apologized to everyone she affected, including spectators and other participants, for her decision to keep racing. “I’ve really learned a lot from the situation,” she said. She also thanked people for their support. “It’s been a very hard situation to navigate for me and very confronting as well,” she said. “I’m super excited to go back to doing what I love.” In September, she was seen with fecal matter on her legs as she moved through the stations. She won the race in 1 hour, 1 minute, 23 seconds, according to The Athletic and news.com.au. She posted a now-deleted selfie from what appeared to be a hospital bed. “A win is a win,” she wrote. Critics said she put other competitors’ health at risk. Hyrox co-founder Moritz Fürste issued a public apology. Five days after the race, she gave a “sincere apology” and forfeited her win. “I regret the decision to not have stepped off the track,” she wrote. Do you think she deserves a second chance? #joannawietrzyk #hyrox #hyroxhamburg #Fitness #comeback
