As far as recognized champions in the sport, the Hall of Fame holds a three-day national throw every year to establish the best in various categories. Then again, the Hall isn't the only group of throwers; other champions exist, too. Someday perhaps, there will be a grand merger.
As for the typical knife-thrower, he or she is hard to describe, since anyone can throw.
"There's really no aging out," said Rick Lemberg, an organizer of the online Aim Games, in which people compete by posting their scores. Because there is no physical contact, injuries are rare, he added. Commitment trumps physique.

The wife carrying contest is awesome. It's really quite fun, much more so then any other competitions. The one thing I can think of right at the top of my head is the other Finnish competition -- the World Sauna Championship. But they had to stop that about a decade ago or so when people sat there so long that they passed out and died. They overdid it a bit to say the least.

Still it's very odd that Finnish people would approve of wearing trunks in the Sauna.
