Away from the Olympics, last weekend saw the World Sauna Championships being held in.... oh go on, have a guess...yup Finland.
You might be surprised to learn that the women's champion comes from Finland and was able to stay in a sauna heated to 110C for just over 5 minutes.
The men's champion stayed in the sauna for a stunning 18 minutes and yes, he came from Finland too.

Another niche sport that has not made it into the Olympic schedule yet is wife carrying. The current world champion is from ...................................................................................wait for it.................................................................................................................Finland.
All the previous world champions have been from Finland too. As far as I know Britain has never had a competitor in this event.
Bet we could hammer them at Cheese Rolling, Btter Pudding Hurling and Dwile Flonking though.
