Yes, I heard about this, quite tragic! I think they said that they cancelled the contest now though? So there won't be any more contests like this. Saunas are not bad in themselves I think, but in a contest you take everything to an extreme level, and that is why this happened.

I won't ever go into a sauna, that's a sad way to go. I would not ever go into one of those places even if someone paid me a million dollars. I prefer to be alive and not in a 100 degree heat and steam.

Yes, it is harsh and crude. People should not do this kind of competition. Unfortunately there are many people who like to watch a violence show.
