Stone put is a track and field event where athletes throw a heavy stone, known as a "put," as far as possible. The stone typically weighs 7.26 kg for men and 4 kg for women. Competitors use a technique similar to shot put, where they push the stone from their shoulder rather than throwing it. The event has ancient origins, often associated with Scottish Highland games and other traditional competitions. Athletes must demonstrate strength, technique, and balance to achieve maximum distance. Stone put is less common than shot put but showcases similar skills and athleticism.
