About this episode

The episode discusses the recent ownership change at HYROX and its implications, along with insights from a Core Head Judge at HYROX DC and a recap of the Deadly Dozen World Championships.

HYROX founders Christian Toetzke and Moritz Fürste are back in control of the company. Matt, Cheryl, Dave, and Kevin discuss what the ownership change may mean for the future of HYROX, including Elite 15 prize money and why racers likely will not see immediate changes. Kevin shares his experience as a Core Head Judge at HYROX DC, including how the new judging program worked, the value of repeated shifts, and where the system still needs improvement. Matt also recaps the Deadly Dozen World Championships, from the event’s atmosphere and unique format to the judging questions the brand needs to address as it grows. Plus, Dave announces his January 30 HTX event at Farm Girl, including an Experience Division, paid judges, and individual athlete video. Today’s episode is sponsored by Wodify.
