The Aufguss WCF - Hungary - Battle of the Gladiators, one of the most spectacular and intensive competitions of the sauna master profession in Hungary, was held in Körmend, MJUS World Resort & Thermal Park, between 23-26 April. The aim of the competition is not only to demonstrate technical skills, but also to create a complex sauna ritual, where the focus is on the unity of heat treatment, music, scent and guest experience.

Éva Barabás, sauna master of Hunguest Saliris, also participated in the prestigious event, finishing fourth in a very strong field with an excellent performance. The jury's evaluation of her performance highlighted the precise technical execution and the conscious construction of the experience elements, which created a high level guest experience.
A special feature of the Battle of the Gladiators competition is that the sauna masters do not just perform anointments, but create complex shows where physical stamina, creativity and audience participation are crucial. The event is a key meeting point for the Hungarian sauna culture, where the best of the profession measure their skills and inspire each other to improve.

Congratulations to Eva for her achievement!
