I'll take a look at the technical details of those sauna competitions, I doubt that the air and the steam in the sauna is actually at 100°C.
BTW did any of you try to put your hand in boiling water, 100°C or so? I doubt you'll be able to keep it there for more than a fraction of a second, Finnish or not you'll damage your skin.Michael Schumacher The Best Ever F1 Driver

Boiling water, however is completely different case than 100°C air.

If you put a ham in an oven it takes about 1,5 - 2 hours to cook, but if you were to boil it in water it is much faster. The reason is the same.
Give it up, I very much know what I'm talking about.

Apparently a bigger issue why it's "comfortable" is a small micro climate very near the skin, which is cooled by body heat opposed to being heated by hot air.
You can test this by blowing on your skin in a sauna , it feels damned hot.
(Don't blow on your fellow saunagoers skin, it's concidered rude. Hitting the other guys sholder is concidered a suitable punishment. )C'est la vie ja taksi tuo.

Like Banneppi, I enjoy a sauna at between 100 and 120 deg. C and I'm not even Finnish :
