The Highland games are a taste of nostalgia and this woman set a brilliant new record in the contest. Jess Bridenthal from Hillsdale, Michigan, threw the sheaf a massive 35.6 feet in the air. The sheaf toss involves using a large pitchfork, or something similar, to launch a straw-stuffed bag over a bar. The bag can weigh around 16 pounds, so it’s not the lightest of throws.
