Which makes it absolutely unbearable. By the way, that combination of temperature + humidity will cause severe hyperthermia (which can be deadly) faster than people think.

There is also a World Championship with up to 130°

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.
