How Long Can YOU Sit in a Sauna?


A Finnish man and a Belarussian woman won a competition for sitting in a blisteringly hot sauna Sunday, with both nations keeping the world titles in the bizarre endurance test.

Leo Pusa, 56, a three times former champion took back the title won by a fellow Finn last year, spending almost 12 minutes in the 110 degrees Celsius (230 degrees Fahrenheit) heat.

Natalya Tryfanava from Belarus held onto the title she won last year in the women's contest, managing to stick it out for just over eight minutes.
