Dru Posted July 5, 2004 Posted July 5, 2004 Me Tarzan, You Jane An Estonian clinched Finland's seventh wife-carrying world championship, winning the "wife's" weight in beer and a sauna against 17 other couples. Using the "Estonian carry," where the woman clamps her thighs to the sides of the man's face while hanging upside down on his back, Madis Uusorg carried Inga Klauso 830 feet through a pool and over hurdles in just over a minute. The race in the remote village of Sonkajarvi, a few hours' drive from the Arctic Circle, has roots in local legend: apparently, stealing women from neighboring villages was common practice. It also harks to the story of Ronkainen the Robber, who made aspiring gang members prove their worth by carrying sacks of rye along a challenging track. "I just tried to run and not think about anything," Uusorg said. -- Beverly Hanly I heard this is going to form the basis for GoLite's new pack series super secret suspension system! Internal frames are so 20th century. Thigh clamps are the new technology! Quote
