So wife carrying is even a sport, are you serious?

Wife carrying sport originated in Finland. In this sport, Competitors carry their wives on their shoulders to cross obstacles along the line and couples who committed no foul or less fouls, becomes the winner. This sport is beginning to gain international recognition and sponsors. I'm convinced it wouldn't take a longer time for this sport to be introduced in Africa.

I think this sport is not for everyone, because for those of us who have titanic wives may not even consider it because that may be a suicide case. Lol !!!
