[1] The basic technique involves swinging the keg in a pendulum like manner and releasing when it is at its apex.
In both variations, athletes were given three attempts to throw the keg and the winner was determined by measuring the height or the distance tossed.

[4] Max height/ Max weight (Includes keg toss, sandbag and weight over bar variations) Speed Note: During Savickas's performance, rule was to start while athletes were already touching the first keg.
During Björnsson, Radzikowski and Šmaukstelis's performances the starting signal was given when athletes had to stand back in a line, having had to run forward a few feet in order to grab the first keg.
