Singer Vanness Wu revealed to have taken part in Hyrox Beijing the day after viral defecation incident
Fans jokingly told Wu that they hoped he hadn't used any of the soiled stations.
Singer Vanness Wu competed in the Hyrox Beijing event on September 13, the day following a viral incident involving Australian athlete Joanna Wietrzyk. Wietrzyk suffered bowel incontinence during the Women's Pro event at the Beijing Hyrox event on September 12, continuing despite visible faecal matter on her leg, ultimately winning the race.
Hyrox organizers promptly cleaned and disinfected the venue and replaced equipment before Wu and his teammates began the race the following day, finishing in 1 hour, 11 minutes, and 53 seconds. Netizens were more focused on the cleanliness of the venue post-incident, with comments about potential smells or stepping on feces. Organizers assured the public of their biocontaminant and medical procedures, reminding fans that threats or encouragement of violence towards athletes would result in permanent bans from future events.
