Wife-carrying

Wife carrying (Finnish: eukonkanto or akankanto) is a contest in which competitors race while each carrying a partner. Whilst most teams consist of a man carrying a woman there are generally no rules about gender or marital status. The objective is for the runner to carry their team-mate through a route in the fastest time. The sport was first introduced in 1992 in Sonkajärvi, Finland.
