Wife Carrying World Championships - Eukonkannon MM-kisat (OfficialFanPage)

Wife Carrying World Championships In those days, it was also a common practice to steal women from the neighbouring villages.

The idea of the Wife Carrying Competition is Sonkajärvi’s very own and, in spite of its humorous aspects, it has deep roots in the local history. In the late 1800’s there was in the area a brigand called Rosvo-Ronkainen, who is said to have accepted in this troops only those men who proved their worth on a challenging track. In addition to the product prize the world champions will receive the equ

ivalent of the wife’s weight in beer and a bag full of various products and beautiful Finnish design. The second and the third couple as well as the most entertaining couple, the best costume and the strongest carrier will be awarded with different kind of products.
