WORST IDEA 8/9/10: Finalist dies at world sauna championships

Sitting in a sauna does not count as a sport. And, as much as I enjoy saunas, it has never ocurred to me to sit in one for so long that death would be possible. In general, once the sweat starts stinging your eyes, it's time to get out, shower and go about your day. Sadly, that was not how they went about it at the world sauna championships, where one contestant died and another was rushed to the hospital with severe burns. Well, at least they died making the huge dollars associated with international suana competitions.
