Description
Spike Milton doesn't compete anymore. But he might be the most important person on the floor.
As Global Sports Director of STIHL TIMBERSPORTS®, Spike is the one making sure that when the world's best athletes step up in Milan - the wood is right, the rules are right, and the playing field is level. No excuses. No shortcuts.
That means months of conversations with athletes before a single log is cut. It means travelling to handpick competition timber, piece by piece. It means working with judges, refining rules, and constantly asking: is this fair for everyone - from the world champion to the rookie who just showed up?
Ten years into the role, Spike still talks about the sport like someone who can't imagine doing anything else.
This episode is about what fairness actually looks like when the stakes are a world title.
