The 28th annual Wife-Carrying World Championship took place in Finland recently and for the first time ever a US couple won. The course was 253.5 meters or about 277 yards and the team must navigate 2 dry land obstacles and one meter deep water pit. Before this year the winners were all from Finland, Lithuania, Estonia, or Russia. This year's event was one of the largest with 200 competitors from 18 countries. What does the winner receive? The wife/partner's weight in beer.
