Northern California Scottish American Athletic
Association (NCSAAA) fosters national and
international sports competition and supports and
develops athletes for national and international
competition in traditional athletic contests.
The Heavy Athletics events are descibed in more
detail by the NCSAAA here.
The events include:
•The Caber Toss: Throwing of the tree trunk. An
100lb, 18 foot long pole is lifted and heaved end over
end.
•Throwing the Weights: With one hand, the
competitor must throw the weight up and over a high
bar. The victor is the sole thrower who can clear the
highest bar.
•Putting the Stone: Similar to a modern shot-put.
•Hammer Throwing: The heavy hammer is swung
several times over the head, then released behind the
thrower.
