NEWRY, Maine - A former Olympic cross-country skier has won the seventh annual North American Wife Carrying Championship in Maine.
John Farra says he trained by running up a ski slope with 80 pounds of mortar mix. The course includes a water trough and log hurdles.
His first-place finish earned him and his 110-pound wife her weight in beer and five times her weight in cash, or 550 dollars. They’re also eligible for a one-thousand-dollar reimbursement toward a trip to the world championships in Finland next July.
