The Hyrox<\/a> World Championships in Stockholm are well underway, and the men\u2019s Elite 15 race has delivered a new world champion. US athlete Dylan Scott has claimed the 2026 Hyrox Elite 15 Singles Men’s title with a time of 53 minutes and 47 seconds.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Men\u2019s Health at the Nike Athlete House in Stockholm, Scott explained that his strategy was to stay controlled early, before applying pressure later in the race.<\/p>\n

‘I have a pretty out there strategy in that I just am going to sit back early. I have a particular heart rate that I like to stick to early on and not exceed for the first 15 minutes of the race, because I know how taxing the sleds can be and how much they can blow you up. Honestly, the sled<\/a> still ate my lunch. I got destroyed by the sled push,’ he admits.<\/p>\n

‘I never gave up on the idea that if I just keep racing hard, people are going to fall back.’ His strategy paid off, despite finishing his earlier stations with lower rankings, Scott displayed a valid lesson in pacing, by finishing in the top 3 after burpees, and ultimately finishing in first place.<\/p>\n

‘I don’t really think that I knew that just applying pressure and effort continually was going to move me up all the way to the first spot,’ he shared. ‘That was pretty surprising, as I think my reaction kind of showed. I wasn’t surprised by my fitness<\/a>, and I felt that I had the fitness to win, but I was surprised on how it all kind of played out.’<\/p>\n

A large part of that was keeping his cool under pressure, adding that, ‘The enemy of proper execution is panic. You cannot panic in a race. No matter how it’s going.’<\/p>\n

Scott’s splits show how the race unfolded. While he didn’t lead every station, his ability to stay composed after the sled push and then stack top 3 finishes across the second half of the race proved decisive as he crossed the line first.<\/p>\n
