“When the idea was first envisioned for the IHGF World Highland Games Super Series, we only planned on three venues, which would include the world’s premier IHGF competitions,” said Brebner.

IronMind® was told that while three Highland Game have been confirmed there is a possibility of two more top games being added to the series.

“Each venue in the series would host a single World Championship event:  for example, one venue would host the IHGF World Caber Tossing Championships, the next venue in the series would host the IHGF World Hammer Championships, and so on.   Points from each venue would accumulate until we have our overall winner, who will be crowned at the finale of the series.

“At the moment we are working with a major TV production company that is very interested in filming the whole series,” said Brebner.

IronMind® was also told that the venues as well as the athletes will be released soon, so stay tuned for more details.
