BSW recently sponsored a chainsaw competition in Cirkovce which brought together forest owners from the Saša region and the surrounding area.
The competition took place at the Cirkovce primary school and was once again in honour of Milan Pogorelčnik, who often organised past woodcutting competitions. This year the competition joined forces with the local community of Cirkovce and with it marked a local holiday.
More competitors participated in this year’s competition than ever before, with a total of 39. Martin Medved, chairman of the Forest Owners’ Association of Šaleška dolina, said: “There would have been even more here today, but there are time constraints.”
Among the participants, allegedly, were the seven best competitors from the national chainsaw competition. Toni Breznik, head of the Regional Unit of Slovenia Forest Service Nazarje, was in also impressed by the standard, which is demonstrated across five chainsaw disiplines.
The winners in the men’s category were Dani Avbreht, Janko Mazej and Klemen Mazej, while Lučka Jelšnik, Darja Bobovnik and Pavla Voler scooped the women’s prizes. The best three teams were Duseti Šoštanj, Brlec and Savinjska 1.
The winners of individual disciplines were as follows: bucking by combined cut – Dani Avbreht; precision bucking – Lučka Jelšnik; felling cut and undercut – Janko Mazej; limbing – Aleksander Bobovnik; felling on a balloon – Klemen Podkrižnik.
BSW je nedavno sponzoriral tekmovanje z motornimi žagami v Cirkovcih, ki je združilo lastnike gozdov iz Šaleške doline in okolice.
Tekmovanje, posvečeno gozdarju Milanu Pogorelčniku, pobudniku, da se tekmovanje odvija v krajevni enoti Šoštanj, se je letos odvijalo na Osnovni šoli Cirkovce. Letos se je tekmovanju pridružila tudi lokalna skupnost Cirkovci, z njim so obeležili tudi občinski praznik.
K tekmovanju je pristopilo rekordno število udeležencev, skupaj 39. Martin Medved, predsednik Združenja lastnikov gozdov Šaleške doline, je komentiral: ‘’Zaradi časovne omejitve je tekmovalcev še celo manj kot bi jih lahko bilo.’’
Med udeleženci je bilo tudi sedem tekmovalcev, ki sicer tekmujejo na državnem tekmovanju z motornimi žagami. Toni Breznik, vodja Zavoda za gozdove Slovenije iz območne enote Nazarje, je bil prav tako navdušen nad standardom, ki se odraža v vseh petih žagarskih disciplinah (kombinirani rez, precizni rez, zasek in podžagovanje, kleščenje in podiranje na balon).
Zmagovalci v moški kategoriji so bili Dani Avbreht, Janko Mazej in Klemen Mazej, medtem ko so Lučka Jelšnik, Darja Bobovnik in Pavla Voler slavile med ženskami. Med ekipami so se najbolje odrezale Duseti Šoštanj, Brlec in Savinjska 1.
