Each lane will contain a yoke, 2 logs and a sled. Athletes must move all 3 items across the stadium floor, in any order. All 3 objects must be brought to the middle of the field, then moved to the end of the field. Each time the athlete moves back to retrieve a new object, they must handstand walk the 60-ft. section.

Chyna Cho explained tactics for the event:
“Smooth is fast,” she says. “If you start going too frantically at these weights, you can really get out of control.” She also thinks an athlete’s competence in the handstand walk should determine the order in which she move these implements. “Some of the objects definitely effect the handstand more than others.” That’s probably why so many women are choosing to tackle the farmer’s carry first. It’s hard to exaggerate how heavy these loads are.
