The throwing of the stone, a Swiss tradition dating back to the 1300's. Contestants participate by seeing how far they can throw the large rock. The men and women divisions use weight and age to categorize competition. The large stone weighs in at a hefty 83 pounds, the medium stone at a memorable 23 pounds and the stone used for children 14 years of age and under weighs in at a mere 10 pounds. Test your muscle strength and participate in this age old Swiss tradition. The contest rules resemble those used for shot put in track and field. The famed Steintossen action will get underway at 5:00p.m. Saturday and then again at 3:00p.m. on Sunday. |
