The Cut explains Hyrox as a 2017 run-and-station fitness competition created by Moritz Fürste and Christian Toetzke, which has grown to around 1.5 million participants in 30 countries and even eyes an Olympic future; at a Hyrox event in Beijing, Australian athlete Joanna Wietrzyk unexpectedly pooped during burpee broad jumps, a moment captured in photos that spread online and sparked questions about how the sport and its image will weather the incident and its potential impact on Olympic prospects.
