A Finnish teenager has smashed the world record -- and probably his phone -- in this year's annual mobile-phone throwing contest in Finland.

在芬兰举行的年度扔手机大赛中，芬兰一位青少年打破世界纪录夺冠，当然他扔出的手机也粉身碎骨。

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 Gallop¹, 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 frustrations² and disappointments caused by these modern equipments."

Finland is the home of Nokia and is awash（被浪冲打的） in obsolete³（废弃的） phones, organisers said.

"There will be no doping tests," organisers said on their English website.

"However the jury can rule out the contestant⁴ 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.
