Husband Carrying
Husband Carrying is a unique sport where male competitors race while carrying their wives or partners. The event originated in Finland and has gained popularity in various countries. Participants must navigate an obstacle course that includes challenges like water hazards and hurdles, all while ensuring their partner is safely secured.
The competition emphasizes teamwork and strength, as the husband must balance speed with the weight of his partner. The most common carrying style is the "Estonian carry," where the wife hangs upside down with her legs around the husband's shoulders. This fun and entertaining event showcases both athleticism and partnership.
