Christina Grima Sets National HYROX Record with Podium Finish

Maltese athlete Christina Grima has achieved an impressive milestone after setting a new national record in the HYROX Pro Solo category, securing a third-place podium finish with a remarkable time of 1:04:58.

The achievement came just seven weeks after Grima made her HYROX Pro Solo debut in Rome, where a cramp during the final run prevented her from achieving the result she had hoped for.

Determined to improve, Grima quickly registered for another competition, despite facing a demanding training schedule throughout October due to her commitments during Savage October.

Her perseverance paid off as she delivered an outstanding performance, improving her previous personal best by more than five minutes while establishing a new Maltese national record.

Reflecting on her achievement, Grima described the result as a moment of redemption, expressing immense pride and excitement at reaching the podium.

The result represents a significant personal accomplishment for the Maltese athlete, highlighting her determination, resilience and commitment to continuous improvement.

Grima's performance also marks another encouraging achievement for Maltese athletes competing internationally in HYROX, a fitness racing discipline combining running with functional workout stations.

Her latest success provides further motivation as she continues to pursue new challenges and improvements in the sport.
