Mobile Phone Throwing Competition

Finland might be famous for making phones (Nokia) but I guess they're good at throwing them as well? Mobile phone is an essential part of us that connects us to nearly anywhere in the world but when your battery runs out or someone doesn't return your call, you can pay back all the frustrations and disappointments caused by these modern equipment with this sport!


Mobile phone throwing is an international sport that started in Finland in the year 2000. It is a sport in which participants throw mobile phones and are judged on distance or technique. There are usually four categories in the sport:

1. Original (also called "Traditional"): an over-the-shoulder throw with the farthest distance winning (best of three)
2. Freestyle: contestants get points for aesthetics and creative choreography
3. Team original: up to three competitors have one throw each with their scores added together
4. Junior: for children aged twelve or younger
