国际吐樱桃核锦标赛
地方性遗产

有一本您能想到任何竞赛项目的世界记录,即使是吐樱桃核都名列其中!

吐樱桃核始于1974年,当时密西根州的一位樱桃园农夫:泰奇曼(Herb Teichman)正在思索可以使用樱桃核来做什么事。从邻里相聚到国际型竞赛,吐樱桃核已经登录金氏记录大典(Guinness Book of World Records)并被认可为一正式竞赛。

「子弹枪」(Pellet Gun)瑞克克劳兹(Rick Krause)已经在全球吐樱桃核锦标赛中获取10次胜利。每年七月,数以百计的人自全国各地及全世界各地聚集参予此一锦标赛。竞赛始于密西根西南方的酸樱桃开始收成时。直到1993年时,来自亚利桑那州的瑞克「子弹枪」克劳兹创下72 英尺又7英吋的世界记录信不信由你,他的记录只比现在的世界记录短20英尺。根据金氏记录大典,现在的世界记录是95英尺又9英吋您认为您自己能将樱桃核吐多远?

There's a world record for just about any contest you can think of -- even cherry-pit spitting!

The Cherry Pit Spit began in 1974, when Herb Teichman, a Michigan cherry farmer, was looking for "something to do" with cherry pits. Growing from a neighborhood get-together to an international competition, the Cherry Pit Spit is recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as an official competition.

"Pellet Gun" Krause is the 10-time winner of the International Cherry Pit Spitting Championship. Each July hundreds of people from across the country and around the world gather for the Championship. The contest marks the beginning of the harvest of tart cherries in southwest Michigan. Until 1993, Rick "Pellet Gun" Krause of Arizona held the world record with a spit of 72 feet, 7 inches. Believe it or not, that's more than 20 feet less than the current world record. According to the Guinness Book, the world record is now 95 feet, 9 inches. How far you do you think you could spit a pit?
