That event is Weight Over Bar, i.e. throwing a 56-pound weight over the rising bar. They were throwing at 18 feet when I took that photo.
These games have been an important part of my life for decades. Old friends, old swords, old stories, old ways.

I weighed one of my tool boxes once. Around fifty pounds or so. Putting it in the back of the truck was hard enough, the idea that humans can throw something that heavy 18 feet is astounding!
