Bressuire new records (2) Cork-throw

Want to know about the Bressuire cork-throw with spectacular photos by Marie-Claire GIRAUD?

The recipe is quite easy...

Just take a giant cork weighing 12,7 kilos (28 Ib).

Add some natural strength and impetus!

The Braemar way

Throw the cork as far as you can.

But you must do it the Braemar way without any rotation.

And you know what?

You get one of the two Bressuire special events.

The first one is the Coreff  keg and it's just like the weight for height. Just a click if you want to kow what it's like: Coreff keg over bar

A sparkling event

The second one is called cork-throw and it's sponsored by Chapin-Landais, a sparkling Saumur wine-maker in the Loire valley

And you don't throw it over bar. You just throw it for distance

This is what the 12 competitors did on Saturday afternoon under the sun.

But before throwing it, they just wanted to see it, touch it, feel it

Isn't that true, Jono and Dan?

 

But they also threw it: with Patience for Sinclair and with full power for Seb WENTA

 

Three new Bressuire records in the same competition

And they competitors did well.

Very well!

The official record  (10,10 m by Scott RIDER in 2010) tumbled three times during the Worlds in Bressuire

First Lucasz WENTA threw it à 10.16 m ( 33'3,9")

Then Matt DOHERTY improved this new record a few minutes later : 10,33 m (33'10,6")

And finally, the Sebastian WENTA from Poland threw it further away: 10,46 m (34'3,7")

And he broke the Bressuire record once more...

Congrats, everybody!

All the results: All the results, tous les résultats:

Thanks, Marie-Claire GIRAUD for the photos

EPILOGUE:

Well done, Sebastian!

You throw the cork and you get the bottles

That's good to be the best cork-thrower:

The Chapin-Landais bottles are yours!

Sparkling, isn't it?

Cheers!
