Both finalist were shaking and bleeding from what appeared to be severe burns. Later Vladimir Ladyzhenskiy died while Timo Kaukonen is reported to be in stable condition in hospital.
The temperature or the duration of the stay aren't the worst parts, it's the humidity that hurts and in this competition 0.5 litres of water is tossed on the hot stones every 30 seconds. That's what I call insane!
I for one enjoy bathing in a sauna and feel that sauna is a nicely warm place for people to escape daily routines, not about baking oneself to death.
the challenge is about trying to stay in a sauna to set sauna record and to see who has the best stanima but at some point you'd have to give up. There should be medical professtional to moniter participants and force them to pull out when they enter the mortal danger area. Though ultimately everyone is responsible for his actions. You might be able to hold on a little longer then the medical staff says, or you might just get unlucky and end up under a few feet of dirt.
As far as, wk sauna record is concerned, it has not yet offically established.
