Welly wanging is a sport that originated in Britain in Upperthong, Holmfirth. Competitors are required to hurl a Wellington boot as far as possible within boundary lines, from a standing or running start. A variation requires participants to launch the welly from the end of their foot as if they were kicking off a pair of shoes. The high level of competition has led to precise, highly regulated rules for the sport. The sport is regulated and administered by the World Welly Wanging Association, based in Upperthong The Welly Wanging World Championships are held each year in the town of Upperthong in Holmfirth. It is thought that welly wanging originated following an incident where a pint of ale was spilt into a local resident's welly. Note that the word ''welly'' is also often spelt as ''wellie''. Welly wanging events today are often associated with fundraising events. ==Current World Champions== 〔 2015 Welly Wanging World Champs Men – Adam Taylor Ladies – Annie Mitchell Girls (u14) – Bethany Casson Boys (u14) – Charles Morley 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wellie wanging」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
