Chopping down stereotypes: Women compete at French woodcutting championships


Sarrebourg (France) (AFP) – Cutting logs into rounds with a chainsaw and splitting a log in two with an axe, women take part in the Stihl Timbersports French Championships. “I started when I was 15 or 16, and I was given an axe for Christmas, which is how I got started,” says Julia Barwicki, a 21-year-old competitive woodcutter.
