A Taumarunui sheep and beef farmer has claimed the silverware at the Timbersports World Championships in Austria.
Jack Jordan, a former lock for the Taranaki rugby team, set the fastest time at the Timbersports World Trophy in Vienna on his way to the final.
"I never thought I could win something as big as this against the best athletes in the world," a thrilled Jordan said.
He defeated a strong field including the reigning world champion Jason Lentz from the United States, with Australia's Brad De Losa finishing third.
