If that doesn't put a smile on the viewers face, he or she is not a Finn, I don't know what, but surely some kind of out-landish bore! Finns can have a lot of simple and hilarious fun. 🙂 Haha, your kind of humor, Bryson! Beware, soon you are a honorary Finn! 😁 But one has to admit the Brits are amazing sports and not afraid of water and mud, and the audience was cheer-ful! Take a look! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bkaal8j0T4I.html🥰😍😘
It's not just Finnish. Champions have been Finnish, Estonian, Lithuanian and Russian. Here is video of US couple participating last year: (there was another couple from US also) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PqRuCLmtYkQ.html&ab_channel=KaraandNate
Yeah sure, but some Swede have done their best, too! (And Kara and Nate from the USA made a very comprehensive report!) I'm waiting for the Danes to take part visibly! (They are such fun-loving, and beer-loving, Nordic neihgbours, more known for their smiles and comic genious than Finns! I'm not envious 😉) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jcXNykOiujc.html
There are definetly other countrys and some country have even they local version of Wife carryng. Thought FInland has more strict rules. Estonian win this 10 years in row, it was like wtf? WHy Estonian keep winning this and then they noticed Estonian have figured out to carry wife different ways what was more effective and that why most popular carryng method is "Estonian Carry". So Fins have taken Back they DOminion thought. Lithuanian couple has won it 2 times and Russian Couple one time. other countrys have more loose rules and Finnish one is More difficult especially, water obstacle. And even Beam Obstacle add alot of difficulty. Estonian still Hold all the records there.
