The pair sealed their spot by finishing second in women's pairs event at the final Hyrox major of the 2025-26 season in Warsaw, Poland.

They were, however, given a belated 60 second penalty when they were deemed to have cut the corner exiting the sled pull section. The pair had no such issue this time with a 52 minutes, 58 seconds finish to earn their place at this summer's World Championships. Stockley says she was "really happy with the performance.

" "We knew we had it in us to execute this race," she told BBC Sport Wales. The PE teacher paid tribute to their teamwork. "We have a great partnership and we'll go above and beyond for each other.

"All eyes on Stockholm now, we're ready for the World Championships. " American pair Lauren Weeks and Vivian Tafuto set a new world record of 52:11 as they took the win in the Polish capital. What is Hyrox?
