Mobile Phone Throwing World Championships Video

Festival Location: Savonlinna, Finland

Festival Type(s): Bizarre Festivals, Bizarre Sports Events

Those freaky Finns are at it again. From the home of the Wife Carrying World Championships, the World Sauna Championships and the Air Guitar World Championships comes the Mobile Phone Throwing World Championships. And there's no biscuit for guessing what's involved here.

Choose from a selection of 80's and 90's cellular technologies - some as large as a small child's head - get a good run up and let rip. The world record - held by Mikko Lampi - stands at 94.97 metres so give that baby some air.

The video lacks any sound but feel safe in the knowledge that if it was Finnish they were speaking, you'd probably be none the wiser at any rate. For more information, dates and details, check out the Mobile Phone Throwing World Championships web site
