Electing Norway`s nimblest
Baku, October 23 (AZERTAC). Telekiosken, Telenor and Samsung are arranging the qualification round for the Norwegian Championships in SMS messaging at shopping centres all over Norway. The event produced a Norwegian world record-holder last year. Practice makes perfect - in 2009 we sent more than 6.5 billion SMS messages in Norway.
The Norwegian Championships in SMS messaging has become a major success. Last year, Sonja Kristiansen (23) of Stavanger messaged herself into the record books when she beat the world record during the Norwegian Championship finals.
”The razor-toothed piranhas of the genera Serrasalmus and Pygocentrus are the most ferocious freshwater fish in the world. In reality they seldom attack a human." This is the official SMS text containing 160 characters which the Norwegian Championship participants must type in within the shortest possible time. Kristiansen`s world record stands at 37.28 seconds.
It looks like it will be an exciting qualifying round. As the holder of the championship Kristiansen is pre-qualified for the final, but she is not taking anything for granted. "One of last year`s finalists was typing around 37 seconds in a number of training trials before the final; it was nerves that failed when it counted most. All the same, I hope that I can defend the title, and if all goes well maybe even beat my own world record," says Sonja Kristiansen.
