This year's Wife Carrying World Championships, held Saturday at Sonkajärvi, saw yet another victory for five-time winners Taisto Miettinen and Kristiina Haapanen of Espoo.

The toughest competition came from Estonia and the UK. The silver medal went to Estonia's Alar Voogla and Kristi Viltrop, who finished the gruelling course a mere 0.2 seconds behind the Finnish winners. Third place went to Britain's Matt Witko and Hattie Archer.
