  • Los levantamientos de piedras son comunes en toda Europa del norte particularmente en Escocia, Islandia, Escandinavia y en el norte de Inglaterra. A través de los años se fueron usando para demostraciones de fuerza. Desde hace varios años estas piedras fueron incorporadas a la competición de El hombre más fuerte del mundo. Otra modalidad parecida la encontramos en el deporte rural vasco con el Harri-jasotze. (es)
  • Lifting stones are heavy natural stones which people are challenged to lift, proving their strength. They are common throughout northern Europe, particularly Scotland, Wales, Iceland (where they are referred to as steintökin), Scandinavia and North West England centred around Cumbria. Recently, lifting stones have been incorporated into the World's Strongest Man competitions, using various cast, found, or established challenge stones such as the Húsafell Stone. They also do a stylized version of an event derived from an ancient contest, in which men would see who could load the heaviest stone onto a stone wall, derived from building such a wall, where they are known as Atlas stones.
