First off, I know- "WTF? A 'sauna championship??'" It's the first I've heard of it too, but apparently this thing has been going on since 1999 or something. Basically two finalists compete by seeing who can last the longest sitting a sauna- get this- with a temperature of 230F degrees. One of the both people are burned bad and the competition stops after just 6 minutes. ONLY 6 minutes into it.. One of the guys dies on the way to the hospital. Click link.

Incase you don't know, that's his skin coming off.
But that's not the funny part-
"On August 7th, 2010, Russian finalist and former third-place finisher Vladimir Ladyzhensky and Finnish five-time champion Timo Kaukonen, passed out after seven minutes in the sauna, both suffering from terrible burns and trauma. They were both rushed to the hospital with Ladyzhensky becoming subject to disqualification as a result of his death en route. Kaukonen was reported to suffer from extreme burn injuries, and his condition was described as critical, but stable. "

They DQ'ed his ass for dying.

This is a strange "sport" indeed. But, there are a lot of weird activities in the world.

(I was trying to think of a "in Soviet Russia" joke, but I gave up)

I almost felt bad for the dead guy for a split second. But I realized you'd have to be a special kind of stupid to do something like that. And not a champion in sight? Guess we'll have to wait for next years tournament.

Well, the guy who lived won. The one who died was a 5-time champion at it though. I'm assuming because he's done it many times before he figured he last with no problem. Maybe got a little too confident.

In Soviet Russia sauna championship wins you.
haha there we go. Even though I think this happened in Finland.

Cyro Xero : I thought the five time champion was the one that survived. And the old guy in the pics is the one that died.

Anyways this is to be the last sauna championship, the organizers declared after the guy was pronounced dead. I was researching some more about this championship and one year ago a writer from ESPN went to the championship and said "This is the stupidest "sport" I have ever seen".

I didn't know that sauna was a kind of sport
I hate heat, so I'll never take part in something like this. But I would willingly participate into a "stay as many hours as you can in a fridge" championship,lol

That is an unusual way to die. Too bad with the disqualification.

Man, that sucks. I can't believe that sauna is a sport.
I would also compete in a "stay as many hours in a fridge as you can" competition too, because I like the cold.

"In Soviet Russia, sauna DQ's you!"

Lame joke, I know :/

That's a really odd sport. Who dies faster? Why don't we get a whole bunch of people pregnant on the same day, and let all their kids eat the exact same things and live in the exact same place and have everything the same happen to them, and then see who lives longest. Maybe put them in a sauna, too. You think they would turn the heat down or something, or stop doing the competition entirely.

No, they couldn't do that. The point of the competition is to see who can last the longest. The first one of the two (in the championship match) to leave is the loser. They were in such extreme heat for so long that they both passed out. I'm sure there was an indication from them of it happening, but it was on them to get up and walkout.
