Sonkajarvi, Finland - As many of you probably already know, the 23rd World Wife-Carrying Championships were held recently in Sonkajarvi, Finland. And, according to the Association of Mature American Citizens [AMAC], 53 brawny hubbies from 13 countries, including the United States, shouldered their responsibilities and carried their wives for an hour-long trek over a treacherous course. 

The crowds cheered as Vytautas Kiorkliauskas of Lithuania carried his wife Neringa piggyback over the finish line in first place.
