When she spoke to Nights back in April, Britt Austin and her team, the All Blaxe, were just days away from a trip to the World Axe Throwing Championship in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Britt returned ranked 33rd-equal in the world - the furthest any Kiwi has made it internationally in axe throwing.

She joins Mark Leishman.
