The unique sport of dwarf-throwing originated in Australia in the 1980s and has become an entertaining and popular bar attraction. Having dealt with legal issues in the past, dwarf-throwing is becoming omnipresent internationally. Ironically, the United States wasn't represented in the 1986 World dwarf-throwing championships held in Australia. Team GB won and hold the world record of 17ft 9in.
