Hyrox athlete who soiled herself puts ‘confronting’ matter behind her to win return race

Australian Hyrox athlete Joanna Wietrzyk won the first event of the new season in Hamburg, marking her return after a controversy in Beijing where she soiled herself during a race and continued competing, including using communal equipment. She had forfeited the points from her Beijing victory following widespread public backlash after footage of the incident went viral on social media. Before the Hamburg race, Wietrzyk publicly apologised, saying she was 'truly so sorry' for the events in Beijing.
