Growing older comes with plenty of changes, from forgetting a name to moving a little slower — but not every change should be chalked up to age. That’s the message from geriatric specialist Dr. Anita Chandra, who says she often hears patients tell her they assumed certain changes in their loved ones were simply part of getting older. “And sometimes it is,” Chandra wrote in a social media post. “But not every new change should automatically be explained by age.” Here are the eight signs Chandra says should prompt a closer look and a conversation with a doctor.

Perhaps a win isn’t a win after all. Athlete Joanna Wietrzyk has conceded that she should have called it quits after losing control of her bowels during a Hyrox competition last week — a decision that drew fierce backlash as she powered through the race to claim first place. “I want to offer my sincere apology to the people of China, my fellow competitors, the spectators and the HYROX organizers for what happened during the race in Beijing,” Wietrzyk wrote in a statement posted to her Instagram Thursday.

Fair warning? Hyrox champ Joanna Wietrzyk, 24, shocked onlookers — and the internet — after losing control of her bowels mid-race in Beijing last week, sparking disgust, outrage, and some serious health and safety concerns.

Getting buff behind bars. Filippo Cardone, 48, used to be able to eat a whole pizza by himself — and his workout routine was almost non-existent. But in August of 2024, he pled guilty to wire fraud and was sentenced to 37 months of confinement, including 13 months in Tucson Federal Prison and time in a halfway house and on house arrest. And he didn’t waste his time while locked up. Instead, he developed a “grueling” fitness regimen — including a “Mike Tyson”-like training routine — along with a strict diet that helped him drop almost 90 pounds. He came…

Eight miles, three gyms — one race through New York’s streets. A rainy Sunday morning couldn’t stop over 200 athletes from running through the Meatpacking District up to Midtown Manhattan, then across the bridge to Williamsburg. But this wasn’t your typical 5K. Instead, Urban Iron competitors ran between some of the city’s most iconic gyms and fitness studios, stopping for a workout at each one.

It may be the stinkiest debate of the year. A Hyrox athlete has divided the internet after losing control of her bowels mid-race and refusing to stop, raising questions about whether she should have hung up her diarrhea-splattered sneakers rather than power through to the finish line.

Losing can be crappy — but it turns out, winning can be crappy, too.
