Germany is the current world champion of logging! The gold medal at the home ground championship in 2008 was won by a real team effort and the final score of 4 813 is now the current world record. An important part of this team was the experienced Wolfgang Heidemann, who finished second best individually in the limbing discipline. In WLC 2006 he finished third in the total score and he led his team to a silver medal in WLC 2004. After being a part of the German team for over ten years now he has become really experienced, but nevertheless he thinks it is important not to take anything for granted in this years championship. He uses a Husqvarna 576 XP chainsaw. Why? To quote Wolfgang: "Only the best is good enough!".
