At the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm, a demonstration of three sports (or games) from the Swedish island of Gotland was given. The three events were pärkspel (a ball game in which the ball is hit with bare hands), stångstörtning (essentially the Swedish form of the Scottish caber toss), and varpastning (a throwing game somewhat similar to horseshoe throwing).
