In December of 2020, Hunter McIntyre and Lauren Weeks won the HYROX World Championships, which took place in Hamburg, Germany. Now, both
McIntyre and Weeks are hand-picking their opponents for HYROX’s Feb. 20, 2021, Dallas, TX event, which is taking place at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center.
That’s right. The current champs are working with HYROX to pick nine other athletes that they think will pose the greatest threat to their fitness throne. Specifically, McIntyre tells BarBend that he’s after fitness and endurance focused athletes such as elite CrossFitters. This isn’t too much of a surprise as the two sports have a history of crossover appearances. Both of the champs have competed in CrossFit, as have HYROX athletes Samantha Briggs, who won the CrossFit Games in 2013, and Adam Klink, who has competed in six Regional events.
