 ==== Caber toss ====
-Caber tossing is a popular Scottish game where people play by tossing a caber (Gaelic for "wooden beam") known as a hard log. The goal, however, is not to throw it as far as possible, but to flip it over vertically so that it lands in the "12 o'clock spot" in relation to the thrower.

 ==== Weight over the bar ====
 The contestant stands under a currant suspended at a height of about 2 meters, grabs a 56-pound weight, and throws it vertically upward trying to throw it over the crossbar so as not to knock it down. If he succeeds, the bar goes even higher. The winner is the one who manages to throw the weight over the crossbar suspended as high as possible.
