Now here is a sport that I can get into! With all my years of splitting wood, I'd do great. Anyone watching this? I didn't even know it was a professional thing. I caught it yesterday on one of the sport stations.

I like to watch the Lumberjack World Championship and such. I don't see how they do it. The only portion I think I could do okay in is logrolling. That's the one where two people are standing on a floating log and they try to knock each other off by rolling it with their feet.

I've seen both of these events. I went to a live lumberjack festival before too. I'm new to ax throwing. It was fun to watch them. Each contender had their own ritual between throws. One guy had 2 perfect games!

I had no idea that ax throwing was a thing outside of the circus. What sporting event are you guys watching? It sounds really cool.

I've seen it too. It's crazy how good these guys are. I've never seen any women contenders. There is a league and it's becoming pretty popular. I don't know which league though.

As a supporter of equality, I think we gals should get involved. I can't throw worth a hoot, but it sure sounds like a fun sport. It sounds much more interesting than rhythmic gymnastics. I'm watching a YouTube video of ax throwing and I'm fascinated.

I have not seen women in these competitions either. I wonder if there is a women's league. I'm all for women participating too. My wife wants to try it too. There is a place close by that has a setup to try.
