Gambling Fans Witness Estonians Take Wife-Carrying Championship 6 Jul 2006 Last weekend, a different kind of sports contest was held, amidst the MLB season and the 2006 FIFA World Cup, which has almost come to its culmination. What type of sports contest you ask? The World Wife-Carrying Championships! And who were the big winners of this serious competition? A couple from Estonia won the 250 meter race held in Sonkajarvi, Finland. Gambling fans everywhere can probably already guess who sponsored this outrageous and zany competition! That’s right – none other than gambling leader Golden Palace, one of the biggest names in online casinos!
The couple, Sandra Kullas and Margo Uusorg, won the gambling site’s sponsored event, beating out 40 other couples from around the world on a track with pools and hurdles, using one of the two traditional carrying styles. What style did the winning couple adopt? Kullas clung to Uusorg’s back upside down with her legs around his neck. That’s definitely a way to get around. Gambling fans must have been dumbfounded when they read about this insane competition. Only Golden Palace could pull this off!
And this competition is a lot more popular than you may think! It has achieved enormous popularity worldwide initiating North American, Australian, German, South African, and Estonian Championships. But the World Championships will always be held in the city of Sonkajarvi where it all started. Even Dennis Rodman participated in this competition last year, though without his wife who had recently broken her leg. Gambling fans can be sure this competition will take place again, and maybe next time they’ll be able to catch it somehow. In the meantime, Golden Palace will stick to its crazy publicity stunts, and gambling fans will continue to enjoy this online casino site’s great games and promotions. |
