Good Morning friends
Wife carrying is a sport in which male competitors race
while each carrying a female teammate. The teammate may be your own wife, the
neighbor's, or you may have found her further afield.
The objective is for
the male to carry the female through a special obstacle track in the fastest
time.
Several types of carry may be practiced: piggyback,
fireman's carry (over the shoulder), or Estonian-style (the wife hangs
upside-down with her legs around the husband's shoulders, holding onto his
waist).
The sport was first introduced at Sonkajärvi, Finland and Wife
Carrying World Championships are held annually since 1992 (where the prize
depends on the wife's weight in beer).
We also have Wife Carrying Championships in North America where
it takes place every year on Columbus Day Weekend in October at Sunday River
Ski Resort in Newry, Maine.
Wish you all a great Friday.
