That's a brilliantly written article. No wonder the author has been consecutively chosen as the best sports writer.
It's 110 degrees for the competition, though. I have personally experienced a 120°C sauna and it was hell already. I don't even want to imagine the 140°C one the sauna champion uses for practice.
Anyway, before you are allowed to participate in that competition, you will need to sign a paper relieving the organizers from any responsibility. Makes perfect sense.
