Sad news, a Russian man just died during the world sauna championships held in Finland (see story below).

At the world championship, the person to stay in the sauna the longest wins. The sauna is kept at 110 degrees celsius, with water added to the stove every 30 seconds. Although I have personally reached 128 degrees celsius, we did not dare to add water to the stove. However, we did thrash ourselves with birch branches in the sauna, but that's a story for another time and place.
Good news, a Finlander ended up winning the competition.
Peace, Andrew
