Today we spotlight some of the craziest competitive sports thanks to One Man’s Blog. The compilation is amazing: Ladder Racing? Sand Dune Climbing? Chess Boxing? Wife Carrying?
As a newlywed myself, I would have no problems entering into the wife carrying competition. In fact I might just have to apply for Finish or Estonian citizenship on the grounds of each nation’s innovativeness.
- All Participants must have fun: DONE DEAL
- The wife to be carried may be your own, the neighbour’s or you may have found her farther afield; she must, however, be over 17 years of age: VERY INTUITIVE RULE!
- If a contestant drops his wife that couple will be fined 15 seconds per drop: SHE BETTER HOLD ON!
- The minimum weight of the wife to be carried is 49 kilograms. If she is less than 49 kg, the wife will be burdened with a rucksack containing additional weight such that the total load to be carried is no less than 49 kg: subtext: THE BEEFER, THE BETTER THE BRAGGING RIGHT.
It is also important to note that the winner receives a year supply of beer and the wife wins another year of marriage.
These sports are true examples of athleticism. Wife Carrying is just one illustration we have provided. Please tell me how I can get these into the next Olympics. I’d rather watch Cheese Rolling than Curling or Ballroom Dancing.
Where as many would applaud Lance Armstrong for his record cycling championships, Listgasm salutes Madis Uusorg of Estonia, a 7 time wife-carrying champion.
