Last week the final of the World Sauna Championships was called off after one of the finalists died. This competition is effectively an endurance challenge to see who can withstand temperatures of 110c for the longest period of time. The two finalists managed a commendable 6 minutes before being dragged out in a rather sorry, scorched state of ill health! Russian contestant Vladimir Ladyshenskiy sadly didn't survive. Whilst this is clearly a rather sad and tragic case, I must say that anyone coming up with such a hair-brained idea for a competition in the first place is clearly as mad as a hatter! What next... The World Acid-drinking Tournament (TWAT's)?!!
I presume this is of Japanese origin. If it isn't, they must be kicking themselves; literally.
