New record set near Bordeaux

On a day when French swimmers took gold in the world championships, two young men from Bordeaux set a new world record -  in flip-flop throwing. (Lancer le tong) . Not as simple as you might think as the tong has to be launched from the foot and caught by the second person before it hits the ground. The two young Girondins managed to launch and catch a tong 39.56 metres. They were suitably modest saying conditions were perfect but were sorry that no Guinness records representative was present.
