Poznan will receive the top international lumberjack athletes.
Poznan is the host for the eleventh STIHL TIMBERSPORTS® World Championship. The world’s top lumberjack athletes will meet at the Congress Center in this western Polish city on 13 and 14 November 2015. Over 100 athletes from more than 20 nations will line up to determine the 2015 World Champion in the team and individual competition.The STIHL TIMBERSPORTS® Series is an international competition series in lumberjack sport, which has a long tradition. The history of the first contests dates back to 1870. The first Wood chopping World Championships took place in Tasmania in 1891. From there, logging sport took off around the world. Even today, nearly all the disciplines - three with the axe and three with the saw - replicate traditional forestry activities. All the disciplines revolve around the athlete and his handling of the sports equipment and the wood. In the individual competition for the World Championship in Poznan and in the ten or so national championships taking place around the world between May and October the athletes have to complete six disciplines – Springboard, Stock Saw, Standing Block Chop, Single Buck, Underhand Chop and Hot Saw. The Springboard and Hot Saw disciplines are not included in the team competition for the World Championship or in the Champions Trophy.
