澳大利亚耐力运动员乔安娜·维特日克在北京举行的HYROX赛事中因肠道问题导致失禁，但仍继续完成比赛并获得胜利1。该事件的相关视频在网络上引发广泛讨论后，维特日克在Instagram上发布道歉声明，表示"我后悔没有选择离开赛道"1。维特日克随后主动退出该场比赛，放弃相应的积分1。
HYROX官方随后修改了比赛规则，规定如果运动员的"血液、呕吐物、尿液或粪便对运动员或其他运动员造成健康或污染风险"，可在医学理由下撤出该运动员1。维特日克是HYROX女性单人职业项目的世界纪录保持者1。维特日克的赞助商彪马曾暂时下架与其相关的合作系列产品页面，但后来已恢复1。根据蒙纳士大学的研究，30%至70%的运动员在训练或比赛中经历过胃肠症状，耐力运动员受影响的比例尤为突出1。
Australian endurance athlete Joanna Wittek faced an unexpected medical emergency during a HYROX competition in Beijing over the weekend, experiencing a loss of bowel control due to gastrointestinal issues but choosing to continue racing and finish the event 1. The incident, which was captured on video and circulated widely online, prompted Wittek to issue a public apology and voluntarily withdraw from the competition, forfeiting her points 1.
In her statement posted on Instagram, Wittek expressed regret over her decision, saying "I regret the decision to not have stepped off the track" 1. Wittek holds the HYROX women's single-athlete professional world record and is in her twenties 1. Following the incident, her sponsor Puma temporarily removed a collaboration product page from their website, though the page has since been restored 1.
In response to the episode, HYROX officials updated their competition rules to address hygiene and health safety concerns 1. The new regulation permits the removal of an athlete if medical personnel determine that the athlete's "blood, vomit, urine or feces poses a welfare or contamination risk" to themselves or other competitors 1. According to research from Monash University, between 30 and 70 percent of athletes experience gastrointestinal symptoms, with endurance athletes being particularly susceptible to such issues 1.
