The total score prior to Limbing, that determines the starting order in this final discipline, had resulted in giving us two great duels. Well, of course there are four participants in each race, but in these two races there are two loggers in each that you know very well. This gives us a little extra interest in these races.

Lars Strandell vs. Florian Huster
First out is a battle between the old and the young, the experienced and the newcomber. Closest to the camera you see the Swedish logger Lars Strandell, one of the most experienced participators of all time in the WLC. On the lane furthest away you see the young talent Florian Huster from Germany (read an interview with Florian here). This is going to be a close race. Who will come out on top? Take a look!

Gediminas Statsiumas vs. Lasse Kjaer
Many have stated that this year's World Logging Championship belongs to the junior participants. Not only did we get a world record set by a U24 participant this weekend (Ole Harald L. Kveseth in Fitting another chain), we are also struck by the way all the U24 results are definitely comparable to those of the senior participants. Two of our most interesting junior participants are these two: Gediminas Statsiumas from Lithuaniua, who managed to get a gold medal in the Bucking with combined cuts, are facing Lasse Kjaer from Denmark, who received the gold medal in Precision bucking. Interviews with both of them can be found here. Only two points set them apart in the total score prior to this discipline. Every second will be extremely valuable. Ready, set go!
