Alexander Rončević didn’t set out to become the best HYROX athlete in the world. It happened almost by accident. The 32-year-old from Vienna, Austria, was originally a competitive swimmer, known for his dedication and endurance.

After retiring from swimming, he found himself searching for a new challenge. A friend casually mentioned HYROX, a still little-known hybrid fitness competition, back in 2018. Without any specific preparation, Alex signed up for his first event just a month later in Vienna. That spontaneous decision marked the beginning of a world-class career.
