Forget the Olympics and the Premier League, if you want top-quality sport – not to mention hot Scandinavian girls – the place to be is Finland, home of the annual mobile-phone throwing contest.
And ever heard of Ere Karjalainen? Well we’re sure he’ll be peppered with sponsorship offers from Nike and Gillette very soon after the 18-year-old launched himself into the record books with a new world record.
Karjalainen threw his phone the “amazing” distance of 101.46 metres (332 feet 10 inches), Finnish public television network YLE said. Second place went to South African Jeremy Gallop, who threw a phone 94.67 metres.
“There will be no doping tests,” organisers said on their English website. “However the jury can rule out the contestant if his/her mental or physical preparedness is not adequate for full a performance.”
Fair enough, but surely just competing in a mobile-phone throwing contest immediately proves they’re not “fully adequate” mentally?
