On Sunday August 13 at 2:00 pm the Pro’s return to open up the day with the Hot Saw Challenge, possibly the loudest and most intense competition combining “man” and machine.
The athletes must wield their hot saws with speed and precision to eliminate their opponent. No easy task given the average hot saw weighing in at around 27kg, Hot Saws are custom-built saws usually made with the engine of a dirt bike, snowmobile or jet ski, and delivering upwards of 60 horsepower! Carrying one of these beasts is enough of a challenge, let alone controlling the power enough to cut three cookies (or discs) from the log within a 15cm margin in mere seconds.
Also on Sunday the toughest women in the country take to the stage to show you that axes and chain saws aren’t just for the boys. The top 8 female athletes will convene to battle it out in 4 disciplines; the standing block chop, underhand chop, single buck and stock saw.
The woman with the highest point score will win the 2023 Championship an immediately qualify to represent Canada at the International Women’s Cup in Europe.
