Lol. I’ve watched several of these recently and this was, by far, the best coverage. Hilarious.

This just made my day :D it's so awesome you actually went to try it. I'm Finnish and I've never even seen this live :D

Thank you, Siiri! We were so nervous to try it but glad we did. Such a unique experience! Hope you get the chance to see this live some day yourself. Finland is such a wonderful country and we hope we can go back to experience more things soon!

+The Wild Native Thank you! It's interesting how the Wife Carrying World Championships started first and then national championships sprung up after. You'd think it would be the other way around! But it's cool to see how the sport has grown around the world.

When you see the woman fall with her head first, you think that this is not a sport for the untrained. But it probably looks more dangerous than it really is.
