Have you ever thrown an old mobile phone? And do you know that there's a mobile phone throwing competition in Finland every year?This sport has been around since 2000 though the first national championships took place in Norway in 2004.
In order to recycle old mobile phones, the town of Savonlinna in southeast Finland holds a Mobile Phone Throwing Competition every year.
While competitors cannot throw their own phones, the competition organizers provide hundreds of mobiles to choose from. 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.A three-person jury (评委) gives scores from one to six, and the thrower with the highest number of points wins.
Once all the day's phones have been thrown, they are taken to a recycling center. They will not be wasted as rubbish. Anyone who offers his phone will have a free chance to take part in the competition while those who don't need to pay eleven dollars per person or five dollars for children of 12 and under.
A. So the organizers encourage people to give away their phones that can't work at all.
B. Then people throw as far as possible from the throwing area.
C. During the competition, the style of the throw are judged (判断) rather than the distance.
D. It may sound crazy to you, but it's actually been developed into a sport.
E. And people can have a little fun from the games.
