Joanna Wietrzyk has finally addressed the HYROX controversy that exploded after she continued racing despite suffering fecal incontinence during the Beijing event on September 12.
The Australian athlete apologized to her fellow competitors, spectators and organizers and admitted she should have stepped off the course.
Her statement came as the backlash intensified. A renowned sports brand had also reportedly removed Wietrzyk’s name from her branded clothing range.
