Perhaps I shall. Finland has been dominating the competition for a few years now but I think the Estonians might cause an upset this year.

Oh I get it, you're one of those "Taisto Miettinen is getting old"-doomsayers. We've heard all of that for years and yet he never lets Finland down. Bring your Estonian wives so they can see how a real man carries!

Look, there’s no denying the man’s impressive. Massive respect to him for all he’s done. But there’s no denying he had to switch wives just to get back on the winning streak. lol

You’re right. That might have been too soon. I’ll cheer the man on from the sidelines (while also cheering for the Estonians).

Good man. I hope one day I will see you carry your wife and bring honour to your country!

At the rate I’m going I’ll be as old as Taisto before I even get married. Lmao. Maybe I can ask a female friend to volunteer as a partner. Now all I need to figure out is if there are tryout held on American soil.

As an observer can I just say this has been fascinating and really lovely to read?

Slightly tongue-in-cheek positive interactions are some of my favorite things on Reddit.

Even reading these interactions is feel good :-)

Still better than that one finnish player that switched teams. Unfortunately, his husband was too heavy to keep him competitive.
