This week's pint-sized chaos delivers everything from OCR politics to Derby race drama, gym music meltdowns, and a global influencer showdown. Strap in.
🏆 UK OCR Awards Prep
Alan raids the Voom Nutrition factory for freebies, debates Sheffield parking misery, and nearly buys a Robin Reliant. Standard.
🌍 FISO → UIPM Shake-Up
96.2% voted to dissolve FISO. National federations now have until 2027 to join UIPM.
🏃 Derby 10K… or 9.6K?
A mis-marked turnaround means the course came up short. UKA confirmed it. Alan bought new Adidas shoes anyway.
🛡️ Spartan Updates
New "X" medals, ITABs, a fresh UK rulebook, and liquid chalk is OUT. Plus, WTM community awards voting chaos.
🎶 Gym Music Licensing Madness
Manchester instructors banned from using copyrighted tracks. Costs, consequences, and why your next class might sound like royalty-free elevator music.
🎥 HYROX Influencer Games
32 YouTubers. 16 countries. KSI representing the UK. No women invited. We discuss the optics, the opportunity, and the chaos.
🌎 World Champs Qualification Changes
Only winners get invites now. Birmingham gets a 6‑day HyROX mega-event. And Alan's wedding is 8 weeks away.
