The Singaporean singer fell on stage during her concert in Tianjin, China on Sep. 11.

The 48-year-old was performing her song “Run” when she appeared to lose her footing while running towards her dancers.

In a Facebook post on Sep. 12, she assured fans she was alright and said she was recovering from muscle soreness.

She also explained that her shoes had become loose as her feet had joked that her feet had “shrunk” recently, causing her to lose her footing.

She added that she experienced cramps in both legs throughout her performances.

Despite the fall, she continued and completed the concert.

The incident drew mixed reactions online, with some praising the participant for persevering and finishing the race despite the accident.

Others criticised her for continuing to compete, arguing that the alleged contamination could have affected other competitors who used the same race course and equipment.

According to Shangguan News, Hyrox’s rules prohibit littering, spitting or blowing one’s nose on the ground, with each violation carrying a two-minute penalty.

A spectator questioned why the participant was allowed to continue despite the alleged contamination, while some online users also questioned Hyrox’s handling of the incident.

Over 170 bottles and counting, Saif’s mum says she’s proud of what he’s doing ♻️ We’re proud of him too 🥹

Saif’s mother hopes that people don’t just see him as a child with autism because “it doesn’t define everything about him.

“I’ve learned that finding something he genuinely enjoys can make such a big difference. Seeing how focused, excited and proud he is when he collects the bottles really means a lot to me,” she added that with the right support and encouragement, children can build their confidence, grow at their own pace and become more independent.

An eight-year-old Singaporean boy with mild autism has collected over 170 bottles, earning around S$17, recycling them at Return Right machines under the Beverage Container Return Scheme (BCRS).

His mother, Shikin, 34, told Mothership that the family often buys mineral water by the carton and also collects bottles from their meals at food courts and restaurants.

The family recycles near their estate in Ang Mo Kio and typically does so after Saif finishes classes at Northland Primary School, where he is studying while waiting for a place at a Special education (SPED) school.

She said: “For him, I think there is also a sense of achievement when he sees how many bottles he has managed to collect."

"It has also become a wonderful way for him to learn about recycling, responsibility, sorting, counting and even the value of patience and rewards."

The assistant nurse allegedly inserted the scissors between the boy's fingers and attempted to cut the gauze holding an intravenous tube, but it would not cut through.

After several attempts, a large amount of blood spurted out, and staff discovered that they had severed the small knuckle of the boy's index finger.

Joanna Wietrzyk, a Hyrox female world record holder, sparked controversy at the Hyrox Beijing fitness race on Sep. 12 after she apparently suffered faecal incontinence during the competition and yet still finished the race.

While some praised Wietrzyk for persevering and completing the physically demanding race, others criticised her decision to continue because other competitors had to use the same course and equipment.

Some also questioned Hyrox's handling of the incident, citing competition rules that penalise behaviour such as spitting, even though Wietrzyk was apparently allowed to continue racing after the incident.

In a Sep. 12 statement posted on Weibo, Hyrox China said the organising committee immediately closed and isolated the affected areas and race lanes.

The organiser added that the carpets would be replaced after the day's events, followed by a deep cleaning and disinfection of the entire venue.
