Birling seems the art of standing on a floating log while logrolling is a general term for the sports involving birling. (See source SPORE-E, 1986, vol. 21, p. 32). But sources disagree as to which is which; this gives weight to the near synonymy of both terms. 6, record 1, English, - logrolling

There are various types of logrolling sports. 1. Two contestants stand on the ends of a large floating log and try to dislodge each other by spinning the log with their feet. This is called "birling". 2. Others include racing downstream on logs, using a pole to steer around obstacles. 3. In another kind of logrolling, contestants use a "peevee" (a tool with a wooden handle and a flexible hook) to roll a log up a slope. 7, record 1, English, - logrolling

Les concours de bûcherons tirent leur origine dans les chantiers. [...] Ils regroupent principalement des épreuves d'escalade et de coupe d'arbres, mais également des concours d'équilibre et d'adresse sur des billes de bois en rotation dans l'eau. 2, record 1, French, - concours%20de%20draveurs

Les épreuves varient : 1. Au cours des compétitions d'équilibre, 2 concurrents sont debout à chaque extrémité d'une bille de bois et tentent de déstabiliser l'adversaire en faisant tourner sur lui-même le tronc d'arbre à l'aide de leurs pieds. 2. Les concurrents peuvent aussi se mesurer à la descente de rivière sur des billots. 3. Un autre sport de bûcheron consiste à utiliser un "tourne-billes" muni d'un manche en bois et d'un crochet souple, pour faire rouler des billots vers le haut d'une pente. 2, record 1, French, - concours%20de%20draveurs
