Wife Carrying Championship
Another odd championship that made its start in Finland is the World Wife Carrying Championship — called eukonkanto in Finnish — that’s held annually in Sonkajärvi, Finland. In it, a man carries his wife through an obstacle course using one of several different techniques.
The technique in this picture is called the Estonian technique, and we’re not sure how much fun it is for the wife. These folks take the sport very seriously, though!
