Wife carrying championship takes place in a three-day festival in Sonkajärvi Bashny.Net

Wife carrying championship takes place in a three-day festival in Sonkajärvi, Finland, and this year it took place on July 6th. This is a bizarre competition is that a man should cover a distance of 253 meters with 5 "wife" on his shoulders, and she was at that time hanging upside down on it. Women participating in the championship as cargo must be over 17 years old, and their weight must not be less than 49 kg. Did not fit? Do not worry, the participants, in fact, do not have to be married.

We present you a series of funny pictures that made during the World Cup this year, the Finnish photographer Roni Rekomaa.
