Stone lifting is a traditional strength sport that involves lifting heavy stones, often referred to as natural stones or Atlas stones. Competitors typically lift these stones from the ground to a specific height or carry them over a distance. The stones vary in weight and size, making the challenge unique for each competitor. This sport has roots in various cultures, particularly in Scotland, where it is part of the Highland Games. Stone lifting tests not only physical strength but also technique and endurance, as athletes must develop their skills to successfully lift and maneuver these heavy objects.
