HELSINKI: A Russian man trying to win the Sauna World Championships died after
collapsing with severe burns in the final stage of an event that required
contestants to sit in a 110 degree Celsius room as water was tossed onto a
searing stove. Vladimir Ladyzhenskiy, an amateur wrestler who was in his 60s,
was pronounced dead late on Saturday roughly six minutes into the final round.
