Do you think you are qualified to compete with people like this?Finland It is one of those countries that do not stand out for being eminently tourist destinations, but it is a place that never leaves anyone indifferent and that has the most original celebrations, such as the festival where the World Wife Lifting Championship, a unique festival held in the town of sonkajärvi.
It takes place during the month of July and to participate it is not necessary to be married, so if you go with your girl and she is over 17 years old, it is enough to participate. The festival is based on a Viking tradition that consisted of taking the woman they liked in the rudest way possible, carrying her on his back as if it were a bundle.
Fortunately, nowadays that tradition is no longer carried and men carry women with much more care, either in their arms or by letting her hold on to the back of the boy in question, for which you certainly have to be in shape. or have a girl who doesn't weigh too much.
One of the norms that have been maintained since the origins of this tradition is that if the wife bounces when leaving her on the ground, there is a penalty, so you have to be careful at all times, especially so that they do not hurt themselves. , something they will thank you for.
Obviously, like all good party, is accompanied by plenty of drink, which is usually mainly beer, and food, although the main objective of this event is not to eat or drink, not even the championship, but to have fun, meet people and enjoy the hospitality and friendship of Finns and visitors.
