The German fitness organization later issued a statement that it will introduce “new rules.”
It also became clear that the athlete faced painful consequences. Sportswear giant PUMA removed her collection “Joanna Wietrzyk x PUMA” from its website. So far, neither J.Wietrzyk nor PUMA have had time to officially comment on the situation.
Previously, J.Wietrzyk mentioned that the collaboration with PUMA was her “dream come true.”
“From the very beginning of my career, I ran in PUMA shoes, so such company support is simply incredible. If I had told this to my younger self, I would have been speechless,” the athlete said earlier.

Žmonės.lt reminds that “Hyrox” is an increasingly popular physical fitness competition discipline, started in Germany in 2017. Currently, competitions are held in various places around the world. In mainland China, they were held for the first time at the end of 2024, writes “The Guardian.”
In each competition, participants alternately run one kilometer and perform physical fitness exercises at common high-intensity stations. Among them are a rowing machine, sled pushing, jumps while performing exercises, medicine ball throws, and lunges carrying a sandbag.
Even before the incident that occurred this weekend, official competition rules provided penalties even for minor violations, such as littering on the track, spitting, or nose blowing and blowing contents onto the floor. However, there was no specific immediate procedure for dealing with the presence of feces.
