STIHL TIMBERSPORTS® World Championship 2017/Extreme sports athlete Jason Wynyard is world champion again - New Zealanders dethrone Australia in team competition |
|
| Lillehammer/Waiblingen, 6 November, 2017 (APA/OTS) - The STIHL TIMBERSPORTS® world championship is over: On November 3 in the Hákons Hall in Lillehammer New Zealand won the team world championship ahead of Poland and Australia. On Saturday New Zealand's Jason Wynyard successfully defended his title in the single competition. More than 5,500 spectators followed the world championship live in the arena. In 2018 Liverpool will host the STIHL TIMBERSPORTS® World Championship. |
After 2012 Lillehammer again hosted the STIHL TIMBERSPORTS® world
championship. The best logger sports athletes of the world battled
in front of 5,500 spectators in the H?kons Hall in top-class
competitions. At the end of the electrifying single competition
Jason Wynyard from New Zealand secured his ninth world championship
title and relegated Australia's Brad De Losa and Canada's Mitch
Hewitt to second and third place. From the very beginning, Wynyard
showed a strong performance and fought his way through the leading
group. He took the lead by setting the day's record in his showpiece
discipline Single Buck. Wynyard took advantage of his lead and
didn't let go of it until the very end. "The title means a great
deal to me. At the end it all comes down to the Hot Saw and here the
smallest details matter", said Wynyard.
On Friday the New Zealanders took the title in the team
competition. The "Kiwis" led by Jason Wynyard defeated the Polish
team in the final and grabbed their fourth title. The big favourite
from Australia surprisingly lost against Poland in the semi-final,
because they received a time penalty due to an early start.
Meanwhile the Poles fought the competition of their lives causing a
major upset. The Australians defeated the Canadians in the small
final and finished third.
World Championship 2018 in Liverpool
In 2018 the STIHL TIMBERSPORTS® World Championship will for the
first time take place in Liverpool, England. On October 19 and 20
the best athletes from across the globe will compete for the
Individual and Team titles.
About STIHL TIMBERSPORTS®
STIHL TIMBERSPORTS® is an international extreme sports competition
series. Its roots lie in Canada, the United States, Australia and
New Zealand, where workers in the timber industry would hold
competitions to determine who was the fastest in a range of wood
chopping and sawing disciplines that closely simulated their
everyday work. These logging disciplines evolved with time into a
series of sporting disciplines that require tremendous athleticism,
strength, precision and power. Today the world's best athletes
compete in national and international events featuring three axe
disciplines and three sawing disciplines. Springboard, Underhand
Chop and Standing Block Chop are the classic axe disciplines; Single
Buck (single-man cross-cut saw), Stock Saw (standard chainsaw) and
Hot Saw (tuned, customized chainsaw with up to 80 horsepower) are
the sawing disciplines. For more information visit:
