Henvic (Finistère) will host an international niche competition on Sunday: The Artichoke Throwing World Championship.

The event organized by the Pays de Morlaix Poker Club had to be canceled two years in a row because of the health crisis linked to Covid-19, specifies

.

But this year, certainly overtrained athletes will indeed compete.

Some competitors will however be less experienced since this championship, disputed in a good mood, is open to athletes of all ages, subject to having registered beforehand.

Artichoke throwing is practiced in pairs.

The pitcher has one minute to throw as many vegetables as possible into a basket carried by the catcher.

A variable distance

Eleven meters separate the two teammates in the adult category.

For children, the gap is reduced to 5 m.

All eyes will be on the greatest champions in the hope of seeing them break the world record.

This is 72 artichokes having found their target in one minute.
