HYROX Los Angeles December 2022

The final USA HYROX race of 2022 took place in Los Angeles on Saturday 10th December 2022. The event was held at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

I review the event some more in the below video, and speculate on why there may be so few Americans (on the mens side in particular) who have qualified for the Elite races at the European and North American championships…
