Over 30 couples participated in the North American Wife Carrying Championship at a ski resort in Maine on Saturday, October 12. The event, which featured a challenging 254-metre course, had contestants navigating obstacles like water splashes, logs, and mud while carrying their wives upside down on their shoulders. The winning couple not only received beer but also a cash prize equaling five times the wife's weight. Videos circulating on social media showcase the lively atmosphere, with participants demonstrating both skill and humour. While the sport has its roots in a 19th-century Finnish legend involving a robber known as “Ronkainen,” the modern event is open to any couple, regardless of gender or marital status. BigFoot in Oklahoma Viral TikTok Video Real or Fake?
