The North American Wife Carrying Championship takes place at Sunday River right here in Maine every fall. Teams made up of men and women have to make their way through an obstacle course. The wife can be carried any way the team prefers, most teams use the  "Estonian carry" in  which the wife holds the husband by the waist, with her legs wrapped around his neck...

Wife carrying has a long way to go before it's part of the Olympics. However the odd competition certainly has an international flavor. In fact, the winners of the 13th annual North American Wife Carrying Championship, which took place over the weekend at the Sunday River ski area, came all the way from Finland.
