Näh. It's probably just a new marketing scheme. More viewers and contestants next year. Profit!
On the bbc it was reported that they aren't going to hold it ever again.
That's ain't gonna happen. Reporter don't seem to know his facts. There's actually another place competing for the same Sauna WC. But the town of Heinola is going to keep a good hold of the competition. Next year they'll check the rules and saunas with a doctor beforehand so this little misshap don't come knocking again.Vilham wrote:

Both of them, Kaukonen and Ladyzhensky, took painkillers (while the Russian guy used some skin lotion too...). You're supposed to feel something when your kidneys and white blood cells start boiling. Other participants had no problems at all and came out just fine -- maybe they actually felt how their body was alarming them. Kaukonen and Ladyzhensky were boiling like egg whites but obviously they had no idea of it. Just one paracetamol can change everything.Ultrafunkula wrote:
Kaukonen is in a coma. Imo the organisers fucked up by tuning the heat so much up. It's also hilarious to read in the papers some reactions of all kinds of know-it-all idiots who never been in a sauna in their whole life.
And I can't believe what was going inside the head of that Russian guy. He was using skin lotion (vaseline, skin moisturizer, or whatever) to block the burn feeling of the skin. His skin wasn't breathing at all, he was basically like a pressure cooker.
Sad times for their families.

utterly pointless sport
don't give me that 'its cultural' crap
it's about as cultural as neaderthal-age man sitting on top of volcanic rocks to see who can take their ass burning for longest
where's the skill in being able to sweat like a motherfucker for the longest?

shittest idea for a sport
Add beer pong, air guitar to that list
A sport of kings, requiring the mental strength of an auschwitz survivor and the competitivness of an olympic athlete.
Truly brilliant.

i think a sport needs a certain sort of finesse, skill and mastery to it
these ridiculous 'endurance' or 'taken to extreme' contests are fucking stupid
they're almost like sports invented for people that can't be proper athletes
the news story about a hot-dog eating former champion storming the stage at a hot-dog eating contest comes to mind
get a real fucking hobby

Cheerleading was just deemed a non sport here in the US by a judge. It was a big deal as schools are mandated equal sporting programs between the sexes. So schools must either add another female sport or drop a male sporting program to balance it. I see an appeal coming.
The FSU cheerleaders I know would strongly disagree with his ruling.

Lets be honest, how stupid is it to walk into a 110°C room and see who can stand melting the longest? It's so fucking hot in there that the top of their ears split, they get huge amounts of blisters and sagging parts of skin filled with pus. I won't go on with the different external effects this "Sport" provides.
And above your tomb, the stars will belong to us.
and it's not even fun. at least fuck your body up doing something fun, like heroin or extreme bear-boxing or something.
