IHGF Lightweight Worlds: and the winner is Scott FARR...

Want to know about the IHGF / SAAA lightweight World Championship? This is a competition for throwers under 200 pounds or 91 kilos...

They have just taken place in the USA, three weeks after the European Championships in Luzarches France (Just one click to have more)

They were held in Mountain Home, Idaho on October 20 and 21

Of course the twelve best highflyers coming from Highland Games nations were there, including a young Frenchman from Luzarches, Wesley VERGER.

But with such a line-up, he lacked experience and finished 11th

Stefan DUMITRICA, the new European champion from Roumania narrowly missed the second place, just behind Phil SANSOTTA, one point ahead.

And the 2018 IHGF lightweight World Champion is Scott FARR
