Lelia Kulin sweated her way to the Women's title with a time of 5:22 minutes in the sauna.
The contest was held in Heinola, 130 km north of Helsinki, where saunas were heated to 110 degrees Celsius.
Organiser Ossi Arvela said: "The main rules have not changed since the beginning of the competition 10 years ago, we have six men or women sitting inside the sauna (on each round) and the winner is the last one to leave."
