Video: Finland hosts annual wife-carrying world championships - Telegraph
Last weekend, hundreds of people entered the with each competitor tackling a track that is 253.5 metres in length, with their wives strewn across their shoulders, her legs wrapped around the neck for support.
Naturally, the quickest couple wins, with the track having two dry obstacles and one in water.
Rules at the event dictate that the wife must weigh at last 49 kilos (107.8lbs) or she will be issued a backpack to bring her up to weight. If the wife is dropped, the contestant has to pick her up and continue carrying her.
Wrapping the women's legs around the man's head and hanging upside-down behind them, it was allegedly inspired by how Eastern Europeans use to carry their women - at least according to folklore.
