Hunter McIntyre ‘Still Hungry’ To Compete
The “Sheriff” has recaptured his spot atop the HYROX pecking order. Hunter McIntyre took on the HYROX World Championships in Las Vegas on May 14, and he used some personal changes to hit the gong for the second time in three years.
The details: McIntyre, who won the 2020 HYROX World Championships, was not able to repeat in 2021. He finished fourth overall while Tobias Lautwein won. McIntyre came back with a fury in 2022 after switching up his training and regaining his focus.
- There were some athletes that sprinted out ahead of McIntyre on the opening run, which the commentators said was a strategy to get in his head. However, only one of them remained ahead of McIntyre during that segment.
- The Sheriff stuck to his strategy during the early portions of the competition before hitting the sled push. Once he hit this point, he knew that he could keep ahead of every other competitor. McIntyre proved this to be true by finishing with a time of 58:05, 2:21 faster than runner-up Ryan Kent.
McIntyre: “I know that when I get to a certain movement beyond that point, no one can ever catch me again. And I was really confident in that, because I had never lost a race for the past four years of doing this.”
