The wives wrapping their hands around her knees instead of his stomach helped him tremendously. She wasn't dragging him back and he didn't need to fight her gravity. All he had to do was stabilize his running and carry her weight. Well done to all winners
This is like marriage. No matter how many times you fall, get up and continue until you reach the finish line. Remember, when you fall, you fall together, even if only one of you causes the fall.
"@tieofdnfk8017" It is also more humiliating and degrading and can have its own hazards. The woman has to be upside down and have her face in the man's butt. The woman's butt is upward at least. And believe me, having your head upside down in water means that the water will go down your nostrils as it is aided by gravity. The man may be waist deep in the pool but the woman will have her head below the surface and all you need is for your head to be submerged to your nose so as to drown. Also if the woman loses her grip she will fall on her head. The man feels a pull on his shoulders with the woman's knees against them. . The couple who did piggy back had courage to do it differently, and I admire it, but also, maybe the woman may not be able to hold herself upside down if she has arthritic legs hips or arms (or maybe had recent hip surgery) and piggy back is more comfortable for her. What if the wife were bigger and stronger and could carry the man? Would that be allowed?
There's something organic and visceral about this contest that seems to connects us together. There seems to be no losers and no divisive and hostile discourse common in modern debate. It's hard to explain, and yet, so obvious.
Whose wife watches this and thinks: I want to be part of this? And almost as important a question: who programmed that algorithm that recommended this surprisingly funny and exciting video to me? 😂
I was thinking that it looks fun and a go way to laugh. My husband packs grizzly bear, moose and sheep on his back up and down mountains, I have no doubt he could carry me like this! He most likely wouldn’t though.😂
"@Hunyoantnobyembre" I hear the couples need not be married and this makes it absurd to call it a wife-carrying contest. How about mistress carrying contest? How about POSSLQ carrying contest? What about same-sex couples? What about polygynists?
@@obscurelyvague relax dude its just a fun event for middle aged people by middle aged people, of which all probably touch grass on the daily. they probably dont even know what any of the words youre mentioning mean.
I did this with my 6 year old daughter down a rocky trail in the Vosges mountains because she was too tired to run down to the valley to catch the last train after the 20th stage of 2023 Tour de France. She is only 20 kg but that was more longer than 250m... '^_^ But I must confess we missed the train...
Such an entertaining and unique event! It's amazing to see couples from all over the world come together for the Wife Carrying World Championship, hehe!
So great race dear friend. Thanks for sharing. The wife carrying world championship 2023 is so interesting. Big like. I wish you a happy Wednesday...👍👍
Your video always bring tears 🤣 from laughing. High respect for these brave wives 💜👍🏼 specially the upside down ones. When they jumped into the pool. What a Challenge
This was freaking hilarious😂I got more than my first laugh of the day😊

Incredible display of physicality by these husbands. Well done chaps! Great job by the wives as well. Minimizing shake and jiggle by establishing a close and firm grip on the husband is the key.
I think countries like Finland and Norway have long since figured out the key to happiness, and this is definitely on of those things. Hats off the to the organizers, fans and contestants. It seems quite physical for both the husbands and wives. But it seems they had a fun time.
Secret of success is very simple. Small woman and big men - the more greater the difference in weight and height, the more greater the chance of winning
On change, you are right, but in reality, thouse who own top records have some lower weight differences than thouse who have won lately. Its also about techic and do partners work together or some are just dead weight.
The really competitive husband that treats there wife like cargo, but the also competitive wife that takes it so her husband can win The couples just having fun The husbands who head are between there wives and faces are serious is too funny I love everything about this 😂
I did one of these things one time (not this one but just a fun thing with a bunch of people). A lot of them carried their wives all different ways. My wife is 5’8” and built like an hourglass, weighs 150 pounds. The other wives all weighed less and were shorter. I did a fireman carry that we trained in the Army, and I won the race. The fireman carry has the person on your shoulders instead of on your back. It felt like she weighed half of that. The other guys killed their backs.
Running with my wife on my back must be really difficult. It was great to see everyone who participated try to keep going without giving up until the end. I think it will take a lot of strength for the wives to hang on well. There is a rule that says if the weight is light, you run with the backpack on your back, so I could see some people actually carrying the backpack. I was really surprised to see people running at incredible speeds even though they were carrying their wives on their backs. It was nice to be able to watch the game.
This is what I have been saying. Each man should be able to carry his wife and run, in case anything happens. It doesn't have to do with weight. My principle is that I should be able to carry my wife during an emergency.
This Wife Carrying World Championship Race looks like a lot of fun, lot's of different technics carrying the wifes, cool video. Thanks Mr Lowe for sharing. Paulo & Kathy GB. 👍💞🙏🤗
Awesome stuff. Great to see some very fit husbands and wives having some fun. Tell me though, if a Muslim was to enter the event, does he have to carry all 4 wives, or does he just get to choose which one he carries?
Do you know that you are very insultive here? It is not only Islam that permits polygamy. It is more of a tradition and self-decision all over the world. My father wasn't a Muslim. He had five wives. Most of the men in most African towns and villages had more than one wife. Some still have more than one. In some parts of Israel, polygamy is practised till today. Please do your research promptly before you demonise Muslims. I am a Christian.
The Entire Competition : ruclips.net/video/CnlJa-hVhTw/видео.html
Fun facts : The prize for winning the race is the wife's weight in beer. 🍺😃
I’m glad weigh comes in somewhere.
😂😂😂😂
Let's hope she's a fat one, in that case!!! A double-edged sword, so to speak! 😀😀😀
Готовились видно же и ножки на шее сцепила замочком а кто так себе .сидит с коленями вперёд .и это надо мужику .таскать жену. За банку пива
I love how they have clearly evolved long enough to figure out the optimal way to carry a person.
It's like a backpack
woman backpack
🤣 that is not the optimal way this is backwards
I’m dying, they really have techniques. And it’s clear some of them practiced just for this moment 😂
The 🥇 winners nailed the technique.
This looks so ridiculously fun!! I was smiling and giggling through the whole video. Thank you for this.
I don't. This is stupid. You'll figure it out why one day.
Exactly what I said. Just giggling away watching this.
And dangerous in some falls
The wives wrapping their hands around her knees instead of his stomach helped him tremendously. She wasn't dragging him back and he didn't need to fight her gravity. All he had to do was stabilize his running and carry her weight. Well done to all winners
The one on 4:44 was pretty bad as he had to hold his wife's legs, making himself waste more energy.
@@narata1541 Yeah she is basically doing zero work....she is on a ride lol.
Hope she's got a sports bra on, otherwise....
So smart
The wifepack 😂 lol this is such a funny competition idea
I love these women. That's one happy marriage after another crossing that finish line.
Or they are just doing it for show to compete against the neighbours 🤣
They don't even need to be a real pair as long as the weight minimum is met.
I feel that this sport is ready for the Olympics
Hahaha it really should be!
Cross fit couples would dominate
@@dhsu04 Probably not.... mismatched ones ...tiny wife and huge hubby would have an insurmountable advantage ( despite the additional backpack ).
Would make more sense than break dancing
@@jackieking1522 Slimmer dudes here had the best times though
Imagine you look out of your window and see a pair running through your street practicing it.
LOL. Out for my morning jog only to get passed by a guy carryung his wife upside down on his back
Hahahaha 😂
😂😂
😂😂😂
Wtf they doing 😂😂😂
Wow! They really trust their husbands!!! 😄😄😂😂🤣🤣
Winning price money
This is like marriage. No matter how many times you fall, get up and continue until you reach the finish line. Remember, when you fall, you fall together, even if only one of you causes the fall.
That is very true
So right 👍👍👍👍👌
👏👏👏
Tell that to my wife, I fall she still standing
Very well said
the upside down carry seems to be the most efficient way for this race
"@tieofdnfk8017" It is also more humiliating and degrading and can have its own hazards. The woman has to be upside down and have her face in the man's butt. The woman's butt is upward at least. And believe me, having your head upside down in water means that the water will go down your nostrils as it is aided by gravity.

What if the wife were bigger and stronger and could carry the man? Would that be allowed?
So the husband doesn't have to hold the wife's legs like in a normal piggyback.
.. Cos all the weight is on the ass 😂
The Estonian carry, as they call it.
The butt carries more weight, so it will be easier to rest on the husband shoulder to allow less weight on his wstes to allow him run
Hats off to the ladies, for being carry-able. 💯
😂😂😂
@Kemet89 : Of course, the men are strong. Yet, I can appreciate a wife that stays relatively fit.
@@Kemet89 The guy can be strong but if the wife weighs 200 lbs, he's sitting this one out.
outside of the usa is quite normal tbh.
You mean portable
Wholesome. They are all winners in my book. I wish them lifelong memories 😊
Let your marriage fill with happiness as the smile you brought to us.All of you are winners!!!
Bravo to all the couples. Wishing you long and happy marriages
The wives deserve credit! Especially the one who go face to ash!
They literally do nothing.... most of the times they were even slow to jump back on when they fell.
Wives better put out that night and then maybe they’ll deserve a quarter of a credit
@@olisk-jy9rzthey hold themselves upsidedown for the entire race. It's very physical
@GozieZilla lol not really, their Legs basically hold them up.
@@BossyGerbasi ...which is physical
The top 2 times were so remarkably close. I don't understand a word of Finnish but watching this was quite entertaining.
Есть субтитры на всех языках мира. Не благодарите)
Fun is universal
Put CC on. it translates it for you.
😂😂😂 Great stuff!!! They take their wife-carrying very seriously in Finland 😅
There's something organic and visceral about this contest that seems to connects us together. There seems to be no losers and no divisive and hostile discourse common in modern debate. It's hard to explain, and yet, so obvious.
Just man and his big booty'd woman clinging on for dear life. Beautiful sentiment, I feel the same.
One of the many silly sports events in summer, along with boot throwing, air guitar and mud soccer.
Yes. ❤
Showed this to my wife and we both had a laugh. 😂 Maybe she can carry me on her back, lol.
This game need not to be played in Africa.. 😂😂💔💔
I guess this competition is not for those with wifes over 100 kilo...
Well the heavier the woman, the more beer you get. I guess if you are a bodybuilder or someone who has a lot of muscle you can carry a 100kg woman
the thing is if you manage to carry a larger woman to victory you get more beer as a reward 🤷♀️
I’ve heard that you get your wifes weight in beer, so it could be a strategy…
@@hxllheart1421100kg???!!!!! If the wife starts pushing 70kg she better start thinking she will be carrying the husband
This is hilarious, I love it
Whose wife watches this and thinks: I want to be part of this?
And almost as important a question: who programmed that algorithm that recommended this surprisingly funny and exciting video to me? 😂
Well it looks like fun 😂 definitely the sideways strat for me though
I'm game
I was thinking that it looks fun and a go way to laugh. My husband packs grizzly bear, moose and sheep on his back up and down mountains, I have no doubt he could carry me like this! He most likely wouldn’t though.😂
Best activity for couple's bonding. ❤😊
I prefer sex
i'd argue there's another sweaty type of activity with similar positioning
"@Hunyoantnobyembre" I hear the couples need not be married and this makes it absurd to call it a wife-carrying contest.
How about mistress carrying contest? How about POSSLQ carrying contest? What about same-sex couples? What about polygynists?

What a run!!! Thank you for sharing your video again! Much appreciated!
*That upside down hang though* 👏🏼👏🏼🤣🤣
This is beautiful and very inspiring, all cultures should do this. Natural selection at it's best.
Americans have no chance.
You should pray you never see how fit their soldiers are.
@@digital2701361lol have you seen what they can recruit nowadays? 😂
Ist das spannend. Toll anzusehen. Danke mein Freund für das kurzweilige Video ohne Webeunterbrechung. Liebe Grüße Wolfgang😃🤩
Started watching thinking "what's this selection about?" Realized I watched the whole thing !! And enjoyed it 😆
Thank you for the opportunity to relax and have fun, it was great!
It would be great to see a version of this called "Ex-Wife Carrying World Championship" especially in the water section..
The ex-wide will make sure to gain as much weight as possible, i bet!
It is very clear. Some of them won't leave the water alive.
Never change Finland!!
I think countries like Finland and Norway have long since figured out the key to happiness, and this is definitely on of those things. Hats off the to the organizers, fans and contestants. It seems quite physical for both the husbands and wives. But it seems they had a fun time.
Such a elegant sport….the wifies are really athletic …
Thank you as always🌼
I enjoyed watching videos😁😄
Have a wonderful day🤍❤️🧡
If I roped my wife into this, I’d be black and blue by the end 😂
@benfinesilver2250
You mean you would have to have a surgical procedure?
Secret of success is very simple. Small woman and big men - the more greater the difference in weight and height, the more greater the chance of winning
No it’s not. Also the heavier the wife the bigger the prize
The prize is the wife's weight in beer so you really have to play strategically
On change, you are right, but in reality, thouse who own top records have some lower weight differences than thouse who have won lately. Its also about techic and do partners work together or some are just dead weight.
I would love to see Hafthor do this with his wife lol
she would be peeping out his shirt pocket
what a wonderful contribution to your channel ! Bravo Mr. Lowe !!
Meaningful activities, passionate people, thanks for sharing👍😊💕👍
The really competitive husband that treats there wife like cargo, but the also competitive wife that takes it so her husband can win
The couples just having fun
The husbands who head are between there wives and faces are serious is too funny
I love everything about this 😂
Great event! A lot of fun! Thanks for sharing!👍👍👍
I can't believe i ended up watching the whole video 😅🤣Great sport 👍
This is crazy funny. I wish I could see Serbian couples. 😎🤣 Super funny, I adore this.❤
Hubby carrying would be much more fun to watch!
Yea, but the race would have to be much shorter, like 10 feet. 😂😂
Or carrying heavy women. Also a short race. 🤣
I did one of these things one time (not this one but just a fun thing with a bunch of people). A lot of them carried their wives all different ways. My wife is 5’8” and built like an hourglass, weighs 150 pounds. The other wives all weighed less and were shorter. I did a fireman carry that we trained in the Army, and I won the race. The fireman carry has the person on your shoulders instead of on your back. It felt like she weighed half of that. The other guys killed their backs.
Looked like one couple was trying the fireman carry. She forgot how to climb back on after the pool plunge.
Oooh why don't you brag about it some more eh?
Smart man
If my wife and I jump into this pool, there will be no water left...
"@tifalockhart3021" aww
Then, my wife and I will be behind you. I can't swim.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hello "Mr Lowe"! Thank you for showing us such a wonderful video! I feel so happy! I'm looking forward to your next work! Have a nice day!

Nah. I’ll carry him. I like a weak man to protect 💪❣️
One of the best surprise vids I ever seen , that was hilarious and very entertaining
Se on ihanaalla ja hauskaa kesä kilpaluaa, 這是非常有意義的競赛，夫婦二人翻山涉水，有些半路跌倒，有些勉强到達終点，總之盡力而為，沿途真不容易，參加者已是勇者。
Whoever added the water bit needs a raise 😂
This looks like so much fun! We should have this here in the US. But ngl, it also feels like a “show off my wife” race, lol 😅😂
Finnland you have a strange competition... and I love it!! I would love to travel and see this and the rolling cheese contest in Gloucestershire
This so funny ❤, I enjoyed watching it . Hello new friend here . Thank you for sharing this video ❤❤❤.

idk how i got here, but i am not disappointed. this is super entertaining. and kinda goofy af haha
Number 49 was running like she wasn't even there. LOL Good on them, and this looks like fun.
Me and my wife need to take over, this is absolutely awesome
Hello again my friend 🙂 This was awesome and funny to watch, thanks for entertaining us 🙂 My best wishes, Tubster
Why is this the best thing ever
All things aside this is actually dope af lol
Awesome stuff. Great to see some very fit husbands and wives having some fun. Tell me though, if a Muslim was to enter the event, does he have to carry all 4 wives, or does he just get to choose which one he carries?
😂😂😂
This joke is ignorant
Also, most of these men had flabby beer bellies and could barely run, where do you see fit?

This is straight comedy 😂
😅 😂Oh 😅😂 wow 🤩
Amazing show 👍🏻👏🏻👍🏻👏🏻🙌
Amazing sharing video, love it, fully watched and thank you so much. I have just subscribed your channel too and greetings from Sydney - Australia
POV: you didn’t search for this but saw the title and was intrigued 🤣
Hi Dear Friend! Very nice!😊👍303
This was a lot of fun to watch!
Why is this so frigging hilarious ?🤣
Let's get this sport all the way to the Olympics!!!
Hello and thank you my friend!😊🙏
2:12 😂 It was going so well but managed to fuck it up 99% done.
The guy at 5:08 made a big divot. 100% my fault, but we put together a winning run and had it taken away. We will return.
Brilliant! One of the best things you can do to train when you have someone.
Вот это я понимаю спорт. Красавцы ваще. Спасибо за позитивное видео.
Have fun and enjoy 😁
Exciting human race 🙏
Like 👍 👍 👍
the upside down carry seems to be the most efficient way for this race
Haha love this!😂
Fun race for sure!👍👍👍
Outstanding definitely enjoyed it, full view and thumbs up ,,👍
First dude was a beast while also not nearly drowning the wife. 😂
I’m watching this like….. “I’m not overweight; but this would kill my husbands knees”😂😂😂😂
the wives cheeks just jiggling in the air with every step has to be the most awkwardddd part of this entire comp
I love it!!! How have I not heard of this before?!❤
