Was - there was a world championship

The last time it was held, a Russian died and a Finn ended up in hospital with severe burns.

The problem is that staying as long as possible in a sauna can be fatal.

So, you’re telling me the Finn won?

They were both disqualified as they did not leave the sauna unaided.

A different Finn won.

One used to read regularly (like a few times a year) about someone who came home drunk and went to (electric) sauna and passed out... and died.

Saunas in new construction now all have timers.
