Individual relay “Who is the best man and woman of the village?“
Midsummer was such an important holiday that shepherds, servants and young people were given a day off to gather around the Midsummer fire. Only urgent works were done, and herds were protected from strangers’ eyes to avoid evil spells being cast or damage being caused. At the Midsummer’s Eve party, the strongest man and the most skilful woman of the village had to be determined.

The general scoring in individual relay is based on individual results of five fields and competitors are ranked on the basis of their total results of all five fields. Participants have to compete in the following five fields:

  • Skiing. Estonians love cross-country skiing! And if you think it cannot be done in summer, you are wrong! We have skis that have to be used simultaneously by three people. Therefore, good results require coordinated team work! The winners are determined on the basis of times.
  • Bull taming. A possibility to find out whether you understand the language of animals. Riding a rodeo bull, with competitors ranked on the basis of who manages to stay on the bull and tame it for the longest time.
  • Discover South-Estonia by push-scooter! The domed landscape of South-Estonia can be enjoyed best travelling either by push-scooter or push-sledge. This time, we have chosen the push-scooter and have marked a track on the ground. Competitors are ranked on the basis of time – the faster you are, the more points you score.
  • Hit the nail! This is a team relay competition. Competitors are ranked on the basis of time – the faster you manage to hit the nail in a log, the more you score.
  • Belt weaving. The Estonian folk dresses have hundreds of different patterns and belts, one more beautiful than the other. By the way, in the old days people used to wear folk dresses to Midsummer’s Eve party! This is a competition in weaving belts, where both speed and quality are important.
