Sauna Contest Turns Into Bakeoff
Who knew that extreme sports included seeing who could go longest in a sauna? One Russian man allowed himself to be cooked inside a sauna and died, leaving the Finnish man the apparent winner.

A Russian man died in the finals of the world sauna championships in Finland after spending some six minutes sweltering in temperatures of 110 degrees Celsius (230.00F), organizers said Sunday.
“After this incident we decided that this game is over and done,” Saija Jappinen, cultural secretary at Heinola city told Reuters, announcing the end of the event.
Dozens of competitors were whittled down to just two, but six minutes into the final judges noticed something was wrong with Russian champion Vladimir Lazyzhenskiy and dragged him and Finnish finalist Timo Kaukonen from the sauna.
Police are investigating the cause of Lazyzhenskiy’s death.
Its a dumbass fricassee! Too flaky for my tastes.
What kind of idiot police can’t figure out this jackass steamed himself like he was a lobster? 110 degrees Celcius is 10 degrees hotter than boiling water. But you know who really likes this sport?
