We participated in a wife carrying contest a few years ago during Maslenitsa celebration in Vladimir, Russia. Funniest thing I've ever seen.

We won! And then lots of vodka was had by all.

I can pick up and carry my wife, which just goes to show that a woman doesn't have to be small nor thin in order to be carry-able. I couldn't balance her on one hand above my head like those pairs figure skaters, but what's the practical use of that ability anyway?
