HYROX WORLD CHAMPION at 62: Carol Norris on HYROX Glory, Standards & Rule Changes At Hyrox World Championships 

In this powerful episode of On The Rox Podcast, Neil sits down with Carol Norris, the newly crowned HYROX Doubles World Champion (Age 60-69) at the 2025 World Championships in Chicago. This conversation dives deep into Carol’s three-year journey to the top of the podium, the raw emotion of walking for England in the opening ceremony, and the unforgettable moment of hearing the national anthem play while standing on the world stage at the top of the podium. 

Neil and Carol don’t shy away from the tough topics — including a frank debate on standards in the sport, whether age should affect judging, and if an athlete should be crowned world champion without meeting movement standards. They also discuss the emotional weight of solo vs. doubles racing and what truly separates a participant from a real champion.

Carol shares her role in influencing new HYROX rule changes for the 2025/2026 season and how HYROX has positively responded to athletes’ concerns. We also touch on Carol’s plans for next season, speculation on her next doubles partner, and her sights on going for solo gold.

If you love this sport — whether you’re in it, on the sidelines, or cheering from home — this episode is for you. Expect honesty, insight, and heart.
