Two Kiwis have cracked the record for the longest egg throw and catch in the world.
Nick Hornstein and Robbie Hollander threw an eggceptional 81m to claim the title in England overnight, poaching the former record of 76.2m by nearly five metres.
It sounds easy enough, but competitors have to not only throw the egg but also catch it cleanly for it to count.
The championships are hosted by the World Egg Throwing Federation, who through a global network host competitions all over the world.
"Our aim is to develop sport egg throwing into a recognised activity, through participation and official status to spread the use of sport egg throwing as a platform for physical and social excellence," the Federation's website says.
The New Zealanders won the right to compete at the world champs in Swaton after winning the national championships at the Hilux New Zealand Rural Games in Palmerston North earlier this month.
Egg tossers from around the world including Germany, Canada, Ireland and Australia made the trip to the UK for the 2017 competition.
The record throw caps off a trifecta of wins for New Zealand sports over the weekend, after the All Blacks beat the British and Irish Lions and Team New Zealand notched up more wins over Oracle Team USA in the America's Cup.
Things are looking sunny side-up for the future of the sport in New Zealand.
