Wife-carriers Compete for Beer ANCHOR: Finland is becoming famous for it's quirky sporting events. Over the weekend, couples from all over the world competed in an international wife-carrying contest. What's the draw? Well, the winner gets his wife's weight in beer. Here's more: STORY: A month before the Olympics the opening ceremony of a sporting event of a rather different calibre commences. Here in Finland couples all around the world turn up each year to compete in the annual wife carrying contest. This year competitors have travelled from Kenya, Germany, Estonia and the UK for the race. [Ash Davies and Aila Bruce, Asked: "How Did You Decide Your Costume"]: "We have a costume designer with us, we came with our costume designer all the way from England she has designed this especially so we can compete, streamline you know, aerodynamic tuning." [Ash Davies and Aila Bruce, Asked: "What is your Special Strength"]: "Unity, harmony and technique I think" The idea is to carry ones spouse around an obstacle course...and the winner gets his wife's weight in beers. And in some cases that would mean a whole lot of beer. The contest attracts the crazy, the fun lover and a few professional looking wife carriers who seem to see it as an athletic event. The obstacles can be a bit tricky. But with plenty of crowd support eventually almost anything can be tackled. And while it certainly looks like hard work for the men ... think of the hapless wife. It's hardly dignified ...and most are in a for a bumpy if not wet ride. The contest is rooted in the legend of Ronkainen the Robber, said in the 19th century to have tested aspiring members of his gang by forcing them to lug sacks of grain or live swine over a similar course. It also purportedly stems from an even earlier tribal practice of wife-stealing. But it's all worth it in the end... as the winners enjoy the glory and think about all that beer. [Kirsti Viltrop, Contest Winner]: "Yesterday we have had a really bad luck because we fell and we lost our first place in the sprint and today it's super." For others it's a matter of coming back next year and better luck next time. Tags: ntd beer competition finland sports wife-carrying contest olympics |

Play Compete Win Four friends feel they have what it takes to compete in the professional video gaming world. They've beaten all the locals and they've even done well in a couple of regional tournaments, but how would they do against one of pro-gaming's top HALO teams? --- This edit only shows two Oddball matches making it look like a tie. The true result of the match-up was that FBI destroyed Hatred in every way, shape, and form. Hatred came in a little cocky, but quickly learned what a pro-gamer team can do.
