In a dazzling display of skill and speed at the Wairarapa A&P Show's Open Woolhandling Final, Logan Kamura emerged victorious, showcasing exceptional proficiency across all categories to secure the top spot with a total score of 125.06 points. Kamura completed the handling of 6 fleeces in a remarkable time of 1:05.28, earning him the lowest time points of 13.06, a testament to his swift and efficient work. Ngaio Hanson, who took the second place with a total of 144.84 points, faced a challenging competition against Kamura. Despite Hanson's slower time of 1:19.19 that resulted in higher time points of 15.84, her performance was notable, particularly in the fleece points category, where she scored a high of 68 points, the highest among the competitors. The competition saw Ana Braddick finishing in third place, with a total score of 205.31 points after handling her fleeces in 1:22.31. Braddick faced difficulties in maintaining the lower scores seen by her competitors across the board, oddment, and fleece points categories, which contributed to her higher overall score. The event highlighted the critical balance between speed and precision in woolhandling, as seen in the tight competition, especially in the fleece points where Hanson excelled. However, it was Kamura's all-around performance, maintaining low points across time, board, oddment, and fleece, that secured his victory at the Wairarapa A&P Show's Open Woolhandling Final.
