HYROX Rome: Julianne Ghigo Takes Second Place and a National Record
The Cult Fitness opened the season at HYROX Rome with a podium finish and a national record from Julianne Ghigo, a 1:02 debut from Ritianne Zammit, and strong races from Daniel Brincat, Christopher Fenech, Melvin Borg and Jeremy Barbara.
What a way to kick off the season.
HYROX Rome is in the books, and The Cult Fitness team walked away with outstanding results and great performances right across the squad.
An outstanding performance from our very own Julianne Ghigo and her partner Catherine Chetcuti, who secured a national record. Their result reflects months of dedicated preparation and consistent training.
Ritianne Zammit made an impressive HYROX debut alongside her partner Brenda Cascun, crossing the finish line in 1:02. The pair came close to a podium finish in a highly competitive age group — a strong start to Ritianne's HYROX journey.
Daniel Brincat, Christopher Fenech, Melvin Borg and Jeremy Barbara also represented the squad, each putting in a determined effort on the day.
We keep pushing, growing and building towards the races ahead. The season has only just begun.
