2. There is an annual championship of wife-carrying held in Finland.

Every July, the small Finnish town of Sonkajärvi transforms into the global epicenter of one of the world’s most peculiar sports: the Wife-Carrying Championship. Couples from around the world gather to compete in an obstacle course where husbands carry their wives on their backs, racing against the clock. The rules are as entertaining as the event itself – the wife must weigh at least 108 pounds and be over 17 years old. And the prize? The winning couple receives the wife’s weight in beer. This quirky competition is not just a test of strength and agility but also a celebration of teamwork, humor, and the joy of shared challenges.
