Stian’s trajectory lets him down
Stian makes an indent in the top of the ball and nestles the chicken into it, making sure that it is tilted out towards the audience.
In the style of the baseball player Babe Ruth, Stian then proceeds to call his shot, pointing to the people in “the bad seats” up in the balcony.
He unknowingly replicates Tete’s method of slamming his hands into both the sides of the beach ball, which launches the chicken up to an impressive height.
However, the angle on Stian’s launch is not as good as Tete’s was, as the chicken ends up landing about halfway back in the ground level seating of the theatre.
Stian ultimately earns third place.
