Wife Carrying comes from Finland and it’s pretty self-explanatory- it’s a sport event in which male competitors race across a special obstacle track in the fastest time while carrying their female teammate on their backs. There are three types of carrying: piggyback, fireman’s carry (over the shoulder), or Estonian-style (the one you can see in the picture). The last one is obviously the most popular. The proud winner of the Wife Carrying World Championships held in Sonkajärvi, Finland takes home a wife’s weight in beer.
