Hyrox athlete Joanna Wietrzyk has spoken publicly for the first time since an incident during a race, saying she accepts responsibility and acknowledges that her actions may have put other people at risk.
Wietrzyk said the episode led to a severe public backlash. While accepting responsibility for what happened, she said the reaction went beyond what she deserved and described the experience as traumatic.
Her comments represent her first interview since the incident. The available account does not provide further details about when or where the race took place, the nature of the risk to other participants, or the consequences that followed.
Wietrzyk’s position is that accountability for the incident should be distinguished from the scale of the criticism directed at her. No further developments are given in the supplied material.
