The STIHL TIMBERSPORTS® Series

STIHL TIMBERSPORTS® is an international extreme sport competition series. Not for nothing is it regarded as the top class in the sport – it has the best athletes, the highest spectator numbers and the biggest media coverage. In 1985, STIHL USA joined forces with sports channel ESPN to create the STIHL TIMBERSPORTS® Series; 2021 marks the 21th year for the competition series in Europe. STIHL, the series' main sponsor, has now been joined by a number of other partners, including LIEBHERR and Ford.

TIMBERSPORTS® competitions are multi-discipline events. They comprise six disciplines – with the exception of Rookie competitions, team competitions and the Trophy format that have four disciplines – and they demand a high level of technical ability, precision and strength. The winner is the one who collects the most points during the competition; this means athletes have to show peak performance and extreme personal fitness for the whole competition.

The shows of the STIHL TIMBERSPORTS® Series stand for action and thrilling entertainment.

Experience the fascination of the sportive use of axes and saws demonstrated by athletes and show competitors from all over the world. Fans get the chance to try for themselves - together with the athletes - to cut their personal cookie off the trunk.
