Sonkajarvi, Finland - Love your wife and want to show the world that you are, literally, ready to support her and carry her no matter which obstacles may stand on your way?

Many felt that way on Saturday (July 7) at Finland's Wife Carrying World Championship Competition in Sonkajarvi. But only one lucky winner took home the coveted liquid trophy of this bizarre context: the weight of the winner's lady in beer.

Probably a good bet that there is little or no consumption of carbs and bean-type veggies for the carrier the night before.....

That looks like fun!

...but I wouldn't want to be the guy who wiped out at the end. I can only imagine the ear-full he got later!
