The most popular recreational sports and activities include floorball, nordic walking, running and skiing.

Wife carrying The wife carrying competition is very popular in Finland, though it doesnt actually have to be your wife. And the winner gets the woman's weight in beer. Several types of carry may be practised: piggyback, fireman's carry (over the shoulder), or Estonian-style (the wife hangs upside-down with her legs around the husband's shoulders, holding onto his waist).

Athletics and Ice Hockey The sport of athletics has historically been an important part of both Finnish sports history and national identity. Javelin throw is the only event in which Finland has enjoyed success all the way from the 1900s to this day. Thus, it is currently the most popular athletics event in Finland. Ice hockey is the most popular sport in Finland. It's top professional league, the SM-Liiga, is among the strongest in the world. The Finnish national team has won the World Championship twice, in 1995 and 2011.
