  Scottish Heavy Athletics Competition

Stone Throw Everyone Enjoyes the Scottish Heavy Athlete's

 
 

 

Competition is Serious!

Competitors compete in Six Events:

  • Open Stone Throw According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, the modern sport of shot put "derives from the ancient sport of putting the stone." The smooth river stones used weigh 16 pounds.
  • Weight Throw for distance Weights, attached to a ring and chain, are thrown three times-the longest counts.

             56 pound weight throws for distance
             28 pound weight throws for distance

  • Scottish Hammer Throw The Scottish hammer derives from the village blacksmith's hammer. The metal ball (16-22 pounds) is attached to a wooden handle. The competitor is not allowed to move his feet while throwing
  • Caber Toss (the log) This signature Highland event may have begun as a military exercise. There is no standard size for these tapered pine trunks, but they are generally 16-20 feet long and weigh up to 120 pounds. The object is to lift then toss the caber end-over-end so that it lands in the 12 o'clock position.
  • Sheaf Toss (pitchfork event) – A pitchfork is used to toss the16 pound bag of hay over a cross bar, which is raised 6 inches at a time. The winning toss is the highest one over the bar without knocking it
  • Weight Toss (for height) - The 56-pound weight is swung between the knees and tossed over the bar using only one hand. 

Each competitor has three attempts to achieve his personal best. There will be a winner of each event and an overall winner.

As for athlete line up: we will have a field of 10-15 athletes (that’s a full line up) 2 of which are females. A combination of amateurs and masters will be competing. As for the lineup, 2 of the athletes are highly ranked,   We also picked up local athletes from Jamestown who will be throwing in this year's competition.
