Kickboxer Brent Spiteri stepped outside his usual sporting discipline to complete his first HYROX challenge alongside Colin Farrugia at the MFCC in Ta’ Qali.
Spiteri, who described kickboxing as his main focus, took on the fitness race without previous HYROX experience or a specialised training programme. The pair completed the challenge in 1:08:09.
He credited determination, a willingness to suffer and a competitive mindset for helping them through the event, while also thanking coaches Jon Caruana and Matthew Degiorgio for their guidance during the build-up.
Spiteri also thanked those who supported the pair during the race, saying the encouragement gave them an additional push when it was needed.
The athlete indicated that this would not be his final HYROX appearance as he continues to test himself beyond the ring.
