Strength and determination by dide

Strength and determination

Jesse (in the blue tee) and a visiting axeman from Queensland competing in the doubles sawing. The same axeman competing in the standing block. The amazing thing about this guy is his strength and determination. If you look closely, you will see that he competes at this high standard, with only one arm. They got through to the finals in the sawing and after a photo finish, got a fourth placing. The placings were all within a split second of each other.
Not only great strenght but must have amazing balance as well... It is great to see people getting over their physical disabillaties ...

Powerful action images full of movement and interest Dianne, clearly this competitor has not let the loss of an arm stop him enjoying competing and doing well:)

@kathiecb no he isn’t compared to some. It’s more about technique.
