HYROX Bordeaux 2026: Elodie Ravera Wins the Pro Women's Race

HYROX Bordeaux 2026: Elodie Ravera Keeps French Women at the Top

The Parc des Expositions in Bordeaux hosted this season's local HYROX stop from September 30 to October 4, 2026, with a packed field: 512 men and 141 women entered in the Pro division, alongside 2,380 men and 1,522 women in Open. More than 4,500 athletes in total worked through the event's eight stations across the week.

In the Pro women's race on October 2, Elodie Ravera took the lead early and never gave it back. She crossed the line in 58:49, 31 seconds clear of Australia's Calypso Sheridan. Germany's Lea Sophie Pommerening rounded out the podium in 1:01:17. Six French athletes finished inside the top ten, including Ilona Frigout in fifth at 1:02:03, a result that points to real depth behind the headline name, not just one standout performer.

The men's race was far tighter. England's Charlie Botterill won in 54:01, but Austria's Alexander Roncevic (54:12) and fellow Englishman Jake Dearden (54:20) left him barely 19 seconds of breathing room over the full course. The top French finisher, Thomas Dubost, placed fifth in 56:41, and French athletes filled every spot from fifth to twelfth: a reminder of how much weight France already carries in European Hyrox, even without a men's individual title this time.

The doubles races, held on October 3, also went France's way. Ambre Keram and Anne Bonnin won the women's event in 55:51, while Botterill and Dearden, rivals the day before, teamed up for the fastest men's doubles time at 48:49. In Open, Belgium's Hanne Monteyne finished ahead of two French athletes, Margaux Bozec and Julia Groven, and the men's Open podium was entirely French, with Crepeau, Reynes and Mouflard.

For anyone training toward their own Hyrox time, this race is worth studying as a benchmark more than as a story. A 31-second gap at the top of the Pro women's field, and a 19-second margin on the men's podium, show exactly how thin the difference is between France's best and the world's best right now, and where that gap tends to open: ski erg, sled push, wall balls.
