A Finnish teenager has smashed the world record -- and probably his phone -- in this year's annual mobile-phone throwing contest in Finland. Eighteen-year-old Ere Karjalainen launched a phone the "amazing" distance of 101.46 metres, Finnish public television network YLE said after Saturday's event. Second place went to South African Jeremy Gallop, who threw a phone 94.67 metres. According to contest organisers, the competition offers mobile phone users a unique opportunity to "pay back all the frustrations and disappointments caused by these modern equipments." Finland is the home of Nokia and is awash in obsolete phones, organisers said. "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." The event has been held in the southeastern town of Savonlinna since 2000. (Read by Rosie Tuck. Rosie Tuck is a journalist at the China Daily Website.) (Agencies) |
在芬蘭舉行的年度扔手機(jī)大賽中，芬蘭一位青少年打破世界紀(jì)錄奪冠，當(dāng)然他扔出的手機(jī)也粉身碎骨。 據(jù)芬蘭公共電視網(wǎng)芬蘭廣播公司報(bào)道，在上周六的比賽中，18歲的埃林?卡爾亞萊寧把手機(jī)扔出驚人的101.46米遠(yuǎn)，獲得冠軍。 獲得第二名的是南非人杰里米?蓋洛普，他的成績(jī)是94.67米。 據(jù)比賽主辦方介紹，比賽給了手機(jī)使用者一個(gè)難得的機(jī)會(huì)“發(fā)泄手機(jī)帶來的煩惱和失望”。 主辦方說，諾基亞公司總部位于芬蘭，芬蘭到處都是廢棄的手機(jī)。 主辦方在英文網(wǎng)站上說：“扔手機(jī)比賽中可不用藥檢。” “但如果選手在精神和體力方面的準(zhǔn)備不足以完成比賽，裁判可以拒絕他參賽。” 自2000年開始，比賽每年在芬蘭東南部小鎮(zhèn)薩翁林納舉行。 相關(guān)閱讀 美國(guó)發(fā)生iPhone4充電時(shí)自燃爆炸事件 超長(zhǎng)待機(jī)手機(jī)問世 最長(zhǎng)待機(jī)15年 （中國(guó)日?qǐng)?bào)網(wǎng)英語點(diǎn)津 Julie 編輯：陳丹妮） |
