Linda Meier reflects on a tough Hyrox season: 'I put too much pressure on myself'

5 August 2026, 08:19 (49 days ago) · BurpeeTalk News editorial

Linda Meier is one of the most well-known names in the Hyrox world, but the past season was anything but smooth for the German athlete. In an in-depth interview, she looks back honestly on a period in which her performances fell short of her own expectations.

Meier admits she put too much pressure on herself, which ultimately took its toll. That mental burden played a major role in her difficult season and prevented her from performing at the level she was used to.

Despite the setbacks, Meier also looks ahead and discusses her plans for the future within Hyrox. She appears determined to take the lessons of this season with her and come back stronger.

For Dutch Hyrox fans, Meier is an inspiring figure, precisely because she is so open about the mental side of elite sport. Her story shows that even established names in the sport can be vulnerable.
