Eukonkanto- The Wife Carrying World Championship

Wow, that is the correct answer

Jojo was very close, but scrapage_online is the winner!

Wife-Carrying in Sonkajärvi since 1992

Tired of football, basketball or other boring sports? Well, come to Finland for the ultimate world sports event: The Wife-Carrying World Championship.

In 1992, the people of Sonkajärvi decided that it was time to revive some long-forgotten traditions: back in the late 1800's there was in the area a brigand called Rosvo-Ronkainen, who was said to have accepted in his troops only those men who proved their worth on a challenging track. In those days, it was also a common practice to steal women from the neighbouring villages.
