Have you ever heard of a mobile phone company called Nokia? And do you know that there's a Mobile Phone Throwing Competition in Finland every year?
In order to recycle old mobile phones,the town of Savonlinna in southeast Finland holds a Mobile Phone Throwing Competition every year. And people can have a little fun from the games.
While competitors cannot throw their own phones,the competition organizers provide hundreds of mobile phones to choose from. Then people throw as far as possible from the throwing area. Last year's winner Ere Karjalainen set a world record with his 101.46m throw. As a prize,he got a chance of drinking and practiced again as his preferred training methods.
Those without a strong throwing arm can enter the freestyle competition. During the competition,the style of the throw is judged (判断) rather than the distance.
A three-person jury (评判委员会) gives scores from one to six,and the thrower with the highest number of points wins.
This year's competition will be held on August 24. Sign-ups (报名注册) are still being accepted for five euros per person or two euros for children aged 12 and under. Once all the day's phones have been thrown,they are taken to a recycling center.
