The starting temperature is 110 degrees Celsius. Half a litre of water will be poured on the stove every 30 seconds.

Well, that’s just dumb. That’s a steam bath, not a sauna.

On 7 August 2010, Russian finalist and former third-place finisher Vladimir Ladyzhensky and Finnish five-time champion Timo Kaukonen passed out after six minutes of 110 °C (230 °F) heat, both suffering from serious burns and trauma. According to a spectator, Kaukonen was able to leave the sauna with assistance, but Ladyzhensky had to be dragged out, suffering from convulsions, burns, and blisters.[5] Ladyzhensky died despite resuscitation and Kaukonen was rushed to the hospital.[6] He was reported to suffer from extreme burn injuries, and his condition was described as critical, but stable.

I guess that would put a damper on future competitions. Seems like something from an old Simpsons episode.
