“It was the hoped-for spectacular start to a long TIMBERSPORTS® weekend at Vienna’s Rathausplatz (Austria). Martha King of the USA secured victory and made history as the International Women Cup 2022, the first women’s competition with an international field. The 32-year-old won two of three disciplines with the single buck and the underhand chop, giving her competitors no chance.” – Christopher Borghorst
2023 Hayward World Championship – 3rd Place
