The Entire Competition : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CnlJa-hVhTw.html Fun facts : The prize for winning the race is the wife's weight in beer. 🍺😃
The wives wrapping their hands around her knees instead of his stomach helped him tremendously. She wasn't dragging him back and he didn't need to fight her gravity. All he had to do was stabilize his running and carry her weight. Well done to all winners
"@tieofdnfk8017" It is also more humiliating and degrading and can have its own hazards. The woman has to be upside down and have her face in the man's butt. The woman's butt is upward at least. And believe me, having your head upside down in water means that the water will go down your nostrils as it is aided by gravity. The man may be waist deep in the pool but the woman will have her head below the surface and all you need is for your head to be submerged to your nose so as to drown. Also if the woman loses her grip she will fall on her head. The man feels a pull on his shoulders with the woman's knees against them. . The couple who did piggy back had courage to do it differently, and I admire it, but also, maybe the woman may not be able to hold herself upside down if she has arthritic legs hips or arms (or maybe had recent hip surgery) and piggy back is more comfortable for her. What if the wife were bigger and stronger and could carry the man? Would that be allowed?
This is like marriage. No matter how many times you fall, get up and continue until you reach the finish line. Remember, when you fall, you fall together, even if only one of you causes the fall.
"@Hunyoantnobyembre" I hear the couples need not be married and this makes it absurd to call it a wife-carrying contest. How about mistress carrying contest? How about POSSLQ carrying contest? What about same-sex couples? What about polygynists?
@@obscurelyvague relax dude its just a fun event for middle aged people by middle aged people, of which all probably touch grass on the daily. they probably dont even know what any of the words youre mentioning mean.
Such an entertaining and unique event! It's amazing to see couples from all over the world come together for the Wife Carrying World Championship, hehe!
Your video always bring tears 🤣 from laughing. High respect for these brave wives 💜👍🏼 specially the upside down ones. When they jumped into the pool. What a Challenge
I did this with my 6 year old daughter down a rocky trail in the Vosges mountains because she was too tired to run down to the valley to catch the last train after the 20th stage of 2023 Tour de France. She is only 20 kg but that was more longer than 250m... '^_^ But I must confess we missed the train...
There's something organic and visceral about this contest that seems to connects us together. There seems to be no losers and no divisive and hostile discourse common in modern debate. It's hard to explain, and yet, so obvious.
Whose wife watches this and thinks: I want to be part of this? And almost as important a question: who programmed that algorithm that recommended this surprisingly funny and exciting video to me? 😂
I was thinking that it looks fun and a go way to laugh. My husband packs grizzly bear, moose and sheep on his back up and down mountains, I have no doubt he could carry me like this! He most likely wouldn’t though.😂
I did one of these things one time (not this one but just a fun thing with a bunch of people). A lot of them carried their wives all different ways. My wife is 5’8” and built like an hourglass, weighs 150 pounds. The other wives all weighed less and were shorter. I did a fireman carry that we trained in the Army, and I won the race. The fireman carry has the person on your shoulders instead of on your back. It felt like she weighed half of that. The other guys killed their backs.
So great race dear friend. Thanks for sharing. The wife carrying world championship 2023 is so interesting. Big like. I wish you a happy Wednesday...👍👍
Running with my wife on my back must be really difficult. It was great to see everyone who participated try to keep going without giving up until the end. I think it will take a lot of strength for the wives to hang on well. There is a rule that says if the weight is light, you run with the backpack on your back, so I could see some people actually carrying the backpack. I was really surprised to see people running at incredible speeds even though they were carrying their wives on their backs. It was nice to be able to watch the game.
I think countries like Finland and Norway have long since figured out the key to happiness, and this is definitely on of those things. Hats off the to the organizers, fans and contestants. It seems quite physical for both the husbands and wives. But it seems they had a fun time.
Awesome stuff. Great to see some very fit husbands and wives having some fun. Tell me though, if a Muslim was to enter the event, does he have to carry all 4 wives, or does he just get to choose which one he carries?
Do you know that you are very insultive here? It is not only Islam that permits polygamy. It is more of a tradition and self-decision all over the world. My father wasn't a Muslim. He had five wives. Most of the men in most African towns and villages had more than one wife. Some still have more than one. In some parts of Israel, polygamy is practised till today. Please do your research promptly before you demonise Muslims. I am a Christian.
Secret of success is very simple. Small woman and big men - the more greater the difference in weight and height, the more greater the chance of winning
On change, you are right, but in reality, thouse who own top records have some lower weight differences than thouse who have won lately. Its also about techic and do partners work together or some are just dead weight.
The really competitive husband that treats there wife like cargo, but the also competitive wife that takes it so her husband can win The couples just having fun The husbands who head are between there wives and faces are serious is too funny I love everything about this 😂
This is what I have been saying. Each man should be able to carry his wife and run, in case anything happens. It doesn't have to do with weight. My principle is that I should be able to carry my wife during an emergency.
