Mobile Phone Throwing is an official sport in Finland. Since 2000, the Mobile Phone Throwing World Championships is organized every year in Savonlinna in August. Participants throw mobile phones and are judged on distance or technique. The phones used weigh between 220-400 grams. The current male and female world record holders are Dries Feremans (362.3 feet) and Ivonee Weiner (221.7 feet) respectively.
The folks over in Finland have not only created an environment specifically for themselves to play out that fantasy, they’ve actually made it into a national sport. Since 2000, natives of Finland have been flocking to the town of Savonlinna to participate in the Mobile Phone Throwing Championships. The contestants throw phones that have been donated and provided, and are not allowed to bring their own devices. They are, however, encouraged to “choose the phone that fits best to his/her hand or looks the nicest,” according to the official website of the sport. It further explains: “There are clearly two parties in this; some believe that the heavier phones fl[y] further than lighter ones and others think just the opposite.”
