How does it work?

This is a two-person event. Every year since 2003, around fifty teams, divided into Junior (under 15s) and Senior categories, have been trying to beat the record for the flip-flop throw. The principle is simple, or almost: the first player throws the flip-flop with his foot, while the second catches it without it reaching the ground. In 2015, the records for both categories were broken: 32.38 m and 39.56 m. For information, the flip-flop must weigh a maximum of 225 grams. Entries can be made directly on site.
