**HYROX Athlete Apologises, Forfeits Beijing Win After Mid-Race Incident**

Australian HYROX athlete Joanna Wietrzyk has apologised after continuing a Beijing race despite suffering a bowel-control incident mid-competition. She later acknowledged she should have stopped, withdrew from the event retrospectively and forfeited her ranking points.
