Alexander Rončević arrives in Phoenix as the current HYROX Men’s Pro world record holder, after setting a new benchmark of 53:15 at the Hamburg Major (the opening Major of the 2025–26 season). That performance broke the previous mark of 53:22, set by Hunter McIntyre in 2023, and cemented Rončević as the sport’s most efficient “no wasted movement” racer when the stakes are highest. He’s also already qualified for Stockholm Worlds (W) — so he can race Phoenix like a man with nothing to protect and everything to win.
