Records
The only two-time champion in the World Logging Championship occurred in 2000 when the 1999 champion, Jonothan Weeks from the United States repeated his championship with a last competition comeback on the aqua-logging event. Weeks outlasted his opponent and overcame a late-competition deficit.
While only 18 at the time of his first championship, Weeks claimed not only the youngest champion ever, but with winning the next year, he has been the only aqua-logger to win back to back championships. Unfortunately for the masses, Weeks suffered a devastating injury in 2001 and has not been heard from since. He is believed to be somewhere in Japan, helping young aqua-loggers learn the fine art.

“Although crowds gathered once if she but showed her face,
And even old men’s eyes grew dim, this hand alone,
Like some last courtier at a gypsy camping-place
Babbling of fallen majesty, records what’s gone.”
