    By far the hammer throw, close second is the sheaf toss.

    As I stated on a previous thread, I would LOVE to try Highland wrestling. I guess I don't have a favorite event yet, I'll see this summer when I got my first Highland games.

    While I do love the caber toss, my favorite event is the kilted
    tug of war.
    Clans compete against each other.
    I know this may a game only played here is the States.
    But it is a hoot to watch.

    The whiskey taste!

    OK,... I like 'em all but I esp. enjoy the sheaf toss for its combination of brute strength + finesse.

    I agree with the whiskey tasting, but from a spectator's view, I like the caber toss.

    Well sure, you don't want to be tasting too much whisky before you toss the caber.
