If strength is measured by how much an athlete can lift, than those who compete in caber tossing must be off the charts! The Scottish sport is a big part of the Highland Games, a celebration of the Scottish heritage. Not only do athletes have to lift a caber that weighs about 175 pounds (79 kg), they have to run and throw it! Readers learn about this and other throwing sports, such as cell phone and orange throwing. The sports may seem strange, but the full-color photographs and detailed descriptions of each prove that they draw people from around the world!.
