wife carrying
Matrimonial racing sport
Wife carrying is a competitive sport in which a male contestant races through an obstacle course while carrying a female teammate.
The woman typically rides upside-down on the man's back with her legs around his shoulders.
Originating in Finland, wife carrying has spread as a novelty event worldwide, with the winner often receiving the woman's weight in beer.
