Editorial standards

Sourcing

• Every factual claim is traceable to a source listed at the foot of the page, with the date we checked it.
• We prefer primary sources: official event pages, rulebooks, results and on-the-record statements.
• When we rely on another outlet's reporting, we say so in the text and attribute each claim.
• We do not invent quotes, statistics, athlete details, rankings or results. If we do not know, we say that.

Labels

Each story carries one label: News, Explainer, Race preview, Results, Analysis, Opinion or Guide. News and results state verified facts. Analysis and opinion are identified as interpretation. Speculation is never presented as news.

Drafts and approval

Every story starts as a draft. A draft is published only after its facts have been checked against its sources and the editor has approved it. Drafts never appear on the live site.

Corrections

When we get something wrong we fix it promptly, add a dated correction note to the page and update the “Updated” date. Significant corrections are noted at the top of the story.

Race calendar and data

• The calendar is compiled by hand from the organiser's public event listings. There is no public official feed that we are licensed to use, so it is not a live feed.
• Each listing links to the official event page. The calendar names its source.
• We record venues only when we have verified them. Otherwise the field says so.
• We do not scrape or republish the official results database. Results coverage links to the official results service.
• Past events stay in the data and are marked as finished.

Independence and trademarks

An independent publication. Not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by HYROX or its organisers. HYROX is a trademark of its owner and is used here only to describe the sport and its events.

We do not use official logos, and we do not use photography or video unless we hold a licence for it.

Sponsorship

Sponsored placements are labelled and are sold separately from editorial decisions. See our sponsorship policy.

Training content

Training guides and the planner are general educational guidance, not medical advice. The planner's rules and sources are published on its method page. We do not claim endorsement by any coach or organisation.

Use of AI tools

AI tools may be used to help draft and check copy. A person is responsible for every published story: its facts are checked against the listed sources and it is approved by the editor before publication.
