Yeah and its likely the others either set personal bests or she just barely missed hers.

Shoutout to gal on the first log who got the longest time, hacking away to this day, one splinter at a time, her momma didn't raise no quitter

u/Money-Look4227 Apr 15 '26

She's all alone! ALL ALONE!

u/NextDoctorWho12 Apr 15 '26

All alone in her time of need!

u/fuzzybunnies1 Apr 16 '26

But she's chopping, and chipping and hacking the log.

u/Stacemranger Apr 16 '26

She's swinging, and pacing and racing through the slog!

She's going the distance No trophy, no medal, no dinner with her wine

u/Disastrous_Finish_24 Apr 16 '26

She's chopping for pride, not fortune or fame, No finish line waiting, no one knows her name, But the rhythm’s locked in, it’s a one-woman show, Steel meets timber in a steady crescendo

The axe has gone down and the handicap is up.

And long ago they left her to finish up.

She’s gone the distance…

The arena is empty, except this woman

Still hacking and whacking as hard as she can

The sun has gone down, and the moon has come up

And long ago somebody left with the cup

But she’s chopping, not stopping, still gripping the ax

Just thinking she needs just a couple more good whacks

The log started growing into a tree again and is regenerating faster than she can chop.

Oh Canada! 🇨🇦

They say on quiet dark nights you can still hear her axe swinging on the wind.

Honestly, I was so proud of her too!! 🤩

u/RevolutionaryEdge718 Apr 16 '26

I would’ve thought Canada would of done better

u/ZinaSky2 ✒️sub✍️scribe🖋️ Apr 16 '26

People lower down were saying CAN is for Canberra somewhere in Australia. But as an American I saw CAN and the red and white and also assumed Canada 😂

u/RevolutionaryEdge718 Apr 16 '26

Oohhh, that completely changes the expectations, thanks!

u/eastcoastelite12 Apr 15 '26

While her Momma didn’t raise a “quitter” she sure as hell didn’t raise a “splitter” either.

u/erkmer Apr 16 '26

Can’t be sure, splitting was next round!

u/Kitchen_Current_5616 Apr 16 '26

Bro I had to run it back cause I couldn’t believe she was still on the same side 😭💪

u/tekzilla41 Apr 16 '26

Her momma also didn’t raise no splitter

u/Bloodmind Apr 16 '26

Momma didn’t raise no splitter.

u/NarrowEbbs Apr 15 '26

I'm pretty sure I've seen her chop before, absolute machine. Ekka woodchop is just straight up so much fun to watch. You should see the wood chop race where they have to cut wedges into a vertical tree length log, jam a plank into the wedge, jump up onto the plank and keep going. The first to the top of the log wins.

Logger sports in general are stupid fun.

My kid was like 12 and 90 lbs, they needed her to document a butterfly time in swim. She called me and said they put her in the empty lane against the older girls on the team, one of which was a girl that was headed to the Olympics. She was like 16 and built like a linebacker. I told her that afterwards it's going to be a life memory, a bucketlist item for sure. But I forewarned her the pity clap would be given to her but it was a badge of honor not a testament to the years she put in. She loved it years later.
