A bloke has been crowned winner of a sausage-throwing contest after hurling a banger a whopping 110ft - further than the length of three school buses. Todd Rothwell managed to out-throw his competitors by launching the porky missile the impressive distance at this year's Harwich Sausage Festival.
But he didn't manage to beat his own 2019 record, which saw him fling a sausage a staggering 171 feet thanks to a 'strong tailwind' at the festival in Harwich, Essex. Joint festival organiser Richard Oxborrow revealed that the key to Todd's sausage-slinging success is not touching it until just before take-off.
Richard, from Dovercourt, Essex, said: "It's quite funny to watch the newbies to the competition who are all trying to scrunch their sausages up to try to make them into some form of a projectile. "But if you watch Todd, he doesn't pick his sausage up until just before he throws it.
