Weird and Wonderful Competitions That Take Place Around the World

Cell Pone Throwing In Finland

This funny sport has been coming to us from the Finnish town of Savonlinna since 2000. The event was first planned to get people talking about recycling old cell phones. There are four types: classic shoulder throw, freestyle, team, and juniors. But in general, the main guideline is that people try to hurl a cell phone as far as they can. The Guinness Book of World Records has even written about this sport from throughout the world.
In Belgium in 2014, someone threw something over 110 meters, setting a new record for the longest throw. Competitors generally employ phones that are lightweight, aerodynamic, and composed of strong materials like plastic and rubber.
