Colorado hosts the Boomerang World Championships for the first time
A horn blares. A crowd of 30 people wait quietly as Richard Bower grabs a fistfull of grass and tosses it into the air — he’s seeing which direction the wind is blowing, a key consideration for his sport: competitive boomeranging.
And then, in one quick motion, Bower leans back and flicks his hand upwards and lets out a grunt. There’s a whistling sound as the boomerang flies through the air. A chorus of accents begin commenting on the flight.
“Oh that looks like a good one, mate,” said David Schummy, who traveled from Australia for the event.

Most throwers are men, but women also dot the rosters including the all-female team of Chloe Guerrero, Marie Appriou and Juli Appriou (and one other to be named later). They will be dueling with notables Hariom Singh Suryavanshi, Oskar Moeller, Dizzy Klockner and Logan Broadbent.
The championships will feature team and individual competitions and winners will be scored on throwing accuracy, distance and style, said David Hirsch, World Boomerang Championships 2024 Tournament Director.

Boomerangs, Hirsch noted, can be thrown over the distance of a football field and caught at speeds of 80 miles an hour.
