It’s Sweat Victory for Sauna Champs
From Times Wire Reports
Braving 230-degree heat, a dozen men and women sweated in wooden cubicles as long as they could stand it, aiming to grab the Sauna World Championship title in southern Finland.
With a time of 13 minutes, Belorussian Natalia Trifanova won the Sauna Queen title under the watch of doctors and judges.
“I’m pink but happy,” beamed Trifanova, 36, a music teacher from Minsk.
The men’s winner, Timo Kaukonen, a Finn from nearby Lahti, lasted 16 minutes, 15 seconds.
