Every July, the Finnish town of Sonkajärvi hosts the world’s most peculiar sporting event: the Wife-Carrying Championship. Couples from around the globe compete in an obstacle course where husbands carry their wives on their backs, racing against the clock. The rules are just as amusing – the wife must weigh at least 108 pounds and be over 17 years old. The prize? The winning couple receives the wife’s weight in beer. This quirky competition celebrates teamwork, humor, and the joy of shared challenges.
