Seaside Highland Games Athletic Events
By Anonymous — Wednesday, September 14th, 2011
The 2011 Seaside Highland Games will be hosting, as it always does, a wide variety of bagpipe band competitions, dance events plus the ever popular athletic competitions--the amazing "Highland Heavies" tossing their weights and cabers for height, distance and accuracy. All classes of athletes from pros down to rank amateurs will try their hand at throwing the hammer and the weights, putting the stones and turning the caber--that telephone pole shaped instrument (which is not at all tossed or "turned" for distance but for accuracy alone). You will see some of the biggest, the brawniest and most awesome bodies on the planet striving to make this happen. And that brawn combined with an equal amount of skill and technique just may set some records for the old home crowd! Competing as they will in the same events as the other classes and professionals, you will be amazed to see what these guys can do. The Lightweights' main sponsor is WZI Inc. from Bakersfield, California who will be debuting a new solar/electric hybrid bike concept vehicle at the this Seaside competition. Border States Electric will also be sponsoring this unique event. As of publication, the list of entrants includes: |
