Okay, so fine, I couldn't resist.

One could say it was initially an attempt to see if I could draw males without them looking feminine, but Finland was drawn too often distorted in some sort of pitiful pose to say I tried very hard. Sweden... well...

The wife-carrying championships started as a joke but is a very serious sport. The sport originated as a joke in Finland, supposedly reminiscent of a past in which men courted women by running to their village, picking them up, and carrying them off.

Incidentally, 2009 seems to be the first time in over a decade that Finland won over Estonia.

Here are the rules. (Thank Wikipedia)
These following rules set by the International Wife Carrying Competition Rules Committee apply:

* The length of the official track is 253.5 meters.
* The track has two dry obstacles and a water obstacle, about one meter deep.
* The wife to be carried may be your own, the neighbor's, or you may have found her further afield; she must, however, be over 17 years of age.
* The minimum weight of the wife to be carried is 49 kilograms. If she is less than 49 kg, the wife will be burdened with a rucksack containing additional weight such that the total load to be carried is no less than 49 kg.
* All participants must have fun.
* The only equipment allowed is a belt worn by the carrier, the carried must wear a helmet.
* The contestants run the race two at a time, so each heat is a contest in itself.
* Each contestant takes care of his/her safety and, if deemed necessary, insurance.
* The contestants have to pay attention to the instructions given by the organizers of the competition
* There is only one category in the World Championships and the winner is the couple who completes the course in the shortest time.
* Also the most entertaining couple, the best costume and the strongest carrier will be awarded a special prize.
* Participation fee is 50 euro.

Of course, Finland is not wearing a helmet here (who'd see his pretty ribbon otherwise?)

I might color this, but then again, maybe not. The actual WORDS on the comic may still be changed for the final version, if ever, and as such, I welcome suggestions.

And it's not all that fluffy. Pardon me, I'm not good at that. Technically, I'm new at freely supporting shounen-ai at all. This is meant to be funny, and an attestation to Sweden's incorrigibility.

... And Sealand and Hanatamago are just too fun to keep out of it. No, I do not know where his hairdressing tendencies came from. >.<;;;

** And another coincidence-- something I just noticed now. HAPPY BIRTHDAY FINLAND~! ^^

... I'm sorry for embarrassing you on your special day.
