Hyrox co-founder Moritz Fürste said the organisation made a mistake not reacting during its Beijing race on 12 September. Australian pro Joanna Wietrzyk finished the competition despite visible fecal matter and later won the women's Pro race. Hyrox stated it is reviewing protocols and will ban anyone making threats against the athlete.
