World Sauna Championships Finalist Vladimir Ladyzhensky DIES At Event (PHOTOS)

A Russian finalist at the World Sauna Championships in Finland died Saturday and the event was suspended, according to the organizers, the AP reported.

Both of the events finalists -- Russia's Vladimir Ladyzhensky and Finland's Timo Kaukonen -- were rushed to the hospital after collapsing during the competition, in which contestants are made to endure temperatures of 230 degrees Fahrenheit (110 degrees Celsius) for as long as they can. Ladyzhensky later died.

The event, which has been held since 1999, was taking place in Heinola, Finland, which is 86 miles north of Helsinki.

While police have launched an investigation, the organizer of the event, Ossi Arvela, said in a statement: "All the rules were followed and there was enough first aid personnel. All the competitors needed to sign in to the competition with a doctor's certificate."

Thing is... why would I want to Read more about it??

Darwin candidate... "I'll sit in a 110C sauna until I pass out, and maybe die. That sounds like fun! Water boils at 100C, but that's ok. I can do it!"

Serves them right.

darwin at his best

pretty stupid to hold that kind of competition...

pretty stupid, but isn't it just as stupid to die during an eating competition or eating that 5 lbs burger to get your name on the wall at your local burger joint? I think more people die from that around these parts :)

I'm sponsoring a breath holding tournament next year.. make some $$$

who thinks this kind of shit is a good idea?!

Why did they suspend the event? Clearly the guy that didn't die should be crowned the winner.

Damn. That one picture is nasty! Why would anyone do this? 110 C! :disgust

100C??????? there is no way. how can you even sit in that for 1 second?

something sounds off.

It amazes me how stupid some people are...

Next contest,
Stay the longer u can with a pussy in your mouth ! ...

Stupid people, its like the vodka contest in Russia where the winner drunk almost 7 bottles and died ... Nice win !

Incredible

Oh, when! When! When will people wake up to the dangers of the double dog dare??

Saw this on the news last night, so sad people give their lives for such stupidity. Anyone remember the woman who died in after a water drinking competition, I think it was in California.... idiots

That's pretty fucking stupid. Why not have a high diving competition into an empty pool? The same end result, but at least we'd have some blood.

Picture of burn victim being pulled out of sauna... :helpme
