Hyrox targets 2032 Olympic Games as 'Hyathlon'

Hyrox has its sights set on a place at the 2032 Olympic Games in Brisbane. The organisation is working on a plan to include the sport in the Olympic programme under the name Hyathlon. That would be a huge step for the still relatively young fitness sport.

The name Hyathlon suggests that the Olympic variant may differ somewhat from the current Hyrox format. Details about exactly what the sport would look like at the Games have not yet been announced. It is not the first time a new fitness discipline has pursued Olympic inclusion.

For Dutch Hyrox fans, this news is promising. The Netherlands has a large and growing number of Hyrox participants, and Olympic recognition would put the sport even more firmly on the map. The coming years will reveal whether the plans become a reality.
