The over 50's

Hey 50+ monsters

Hope all is going well with training and racing. I’m still racing in virtual cycling but I’m mainly building towards some running FKT attempts and Ultra races. Never to young, lets smash it!

Following on from someone I know winning the HYROX World Champs in 70-74, someone else I know quite well, won the female British Championships at the Stihl Timbersports event last w/e. This is basically sawing and chopping timber using axes, chainsaws and cross cut saws.

She also set a new World Record in the stock saw discipline - as per photo. Simply - don’t argue with Rachel!

It’s got Trans World Sport Written all over it. I did used to enjoy that show. Taught me everything I needed to know about many an obscure sport.

It’s still going as well - no idea what channel though.

Was speaking to a 23yr old a few months ago who was just back from India & he was stunned that I knew what he was talking about when he mentioned he’d been to a Kabaddi tournament.

Thank you Trans World Sport :joy:

I’ve never heard of that but we had a program in Oz called ‘Wide World of Sport’ which was very similar. It was hosted by Max ‘Tangles’ Walker (one for the cricket bods)

I remember watching ‘cup stacking’ one week.

Kabaddi used to be on C4 in the 90s, didn’t it?

I think a show named “Trans world sport” would have different connotations if made today
