Hand clinched her first Canadian title last month in Kelowna
Kaslo's Andrea Hand, who six years ago set out to win a national title and later had to relearn how to walk following a catastrophic injury, is the Canadian women's logger sports champion.
“This has been the carrot that I've been chasing, and I think now that I’ve got this internationals is next," she said. "So I’m not done, I'm not even close to done.” Points were awarded on a descending scale from eight to one based on finishing position, which meant eight points handed out for first place and just one point for last place.
She was pushed by Naud, who last year edged Hand by one point and also finished second at this year's world championships in Germany.Her first appearance at the national championships was in 2018 when she finished fourth. A return trip to the event was delayed first by the COVID-19 pandemic, then again in 2022 when Hand was involved in a snowmobiling accident that led to what she describes as major orthopedic injury.
