University Added a Grenade Tossing Event to their Athletics Event
The North University of China wants students to put down their javelins and pick up their hand grenades.
News from the China Youth Daily newspaper reported that North University of China had decided to introduce a "500-gram grenade toss" to its track and field event in May.
Students will be throwing weighted replicas of a Type 23 projectile, a wood-handled grenade based on the German World War Two stick grenade.
The university said that the event, which they are hoping to continue in future years, is not a publicity stunt.
