Ends: Apr 10, 2022
DESCRIPTION:
Wife carrying originated in the United Kingdom over twelve centuries ago; on June 8, 793AD, Viking raiders rampaged into Lindisfarne on the northeast coast of what is now England, destroying the monastery and reportedly carrying off the local women. Such wife carrying continued intermittently for around 300 years.
Wife Carrying was re-introduced to the Britain in 2008, after an absence of nearly 900 years. The modern sport, though, started in Finland, with the first Wife Carrying Championships held in 1991. In 1999, the United States added similar games.
