Timber sports, also known as lumberjack sports, are competitive events that showcase skills related to logging and woodcutting. Participants engage in various activities such as log rolling, axe throwing, and sawing to demonstrate their strength, precision, and technique. These events often take place at festivals and competitions, attracting both participants and spectators.
The origins of timber sports can be traced back to the logging industry, where these skills were essential for workers. Today, they have evolved into a popular sport, with organizations like the International Lumberjack Association promoting competitions worldwide.
