Hundreds of spectators cheered them on at the North American Wife Carrying Championship. The annual event, now in its 15th year, was held at the base of a grassy ski mountain at the Sunday River resort in Maine.
“The people in Finland put together this event because they felt there should be at least one news story in the year that makes people laugh,” said competitor John Lund, who spent four years in Finland, the birthplace of wife-carrying as a modern sport.
The competition began there in the 1990s and was inspired loosely by the legend of a 19th-century outlaw who tested the mettle (耐力) of his gang of robbers by having them run an obstacle course with a woman on their backs.
The sport has since gained enthusiasts around the world. The event on Saturday in Maine was one of several official qualifying competitions for international championships in Finland, with the others held in Australia, Sweden and Estonia.
Nearly every team employed the “Estonian carry”, in which the woman hangs the head down with her legs hooked around the mans neck and her arms around his waist, which frees his hands. Despite the competitions name, the couple does not need to be married.
The winners on Saturday were Jesse Wall, a gym owner, and his friend Christina Arsenault. Under the rules of the game, they won Arsenaults weight in beer and five times the numerical value of her weight in cash. Asked what he planned to do with the 10 cases of beer, Wall looked around and said, “Share them with everyone here.”
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇新闻报道。在第十五届“背老婆锦标赛”中,获胜者是健身房老板Jesse Wall和他的朋友Christina Arsenault,他们赢得了与Arsenault体重相当的啤酒和相当于她体重数字五倍的现金。
