Eukonkanto: Meet the wife-carrying competition in Finland

In Finland, there is a sports competition that may seem unusual to most people. This competition called Eukonkanto involves husbands carrying their wives and racing against other husbands.

The wife-carrying competition is conducted annually in Sonkajärvi, Finland. It usually involves participants and spectators from across the globe.

The game is pretty straightforward. The male participants navigate through a 253.5-meter obstacle course while carrying a female teammate, usually their wife, girlfriend or even a friend.
