Kilted women of the heavy events - or is this a "Lasses Wear" thread?
Smart, strong, fast, dedicated, lovely and more.... Here are a few of the amazing kilted women that throw in the Heavy Athletics of the Highland Games in North America.
The World Champion....Adriane Wilson, indoor at "The Arnold" fitness expo.
Adriane at Pleasanton, doing the "spin" weight over bar technique
Heather MacDonald (formerly southern California, now Arizona).
Felicia Fisher ( San Diego )
Getting some air, tossing caber...the caber is so high that it's out of the picture.

Our very own Good Girl Gone Plaid - southern California
Willow Rose...New England
Emily Burchett....maybe pound for pound the best female thrower.
Emily and Kate brown leaving nothing to the imagination...
That'll do..... it gives you an idea of what these women are like, and why I like every single one of 'em.

Mad respect to the gals out there putting in work on the field. The big boys seem to get all the attention but the ladies are every bit as badass, if not just a wee bit more.

I know it's a "women" of the heavy events thread...but that's me in the background, doing my best to look like a judge.
That was a perfect 12:00 toss, BTW!

I was so sorry not to meet up with the "AZ wildcat" team at Inverness last year. Although, I did see the world record being broken in the women's hammer throwing. I thought, what a charming and dedicated bunch of ladies attending and competing on the day that I was there.

Great pictures, Alan, keep them coming. Sadly we do not have any female participants in the UK Highland Games yet. It seems that the availability of suitable sized cabers is one of the objections. Since there are so many games in a short time frame and many are struggling to ensure financial viability, it may be some time before any change is forthcoming.
If you are going to do it, do it in a kilt!
