How to tackle scorching heat amid the upcoming 2020 Summer Olympics in Japan? Shaved ice is the key
While the name already tells, organizers for the 2020 Summer Olympics in Japan thought that it would be great if it would not be too hot later on. So, the Olympics organizer tried out their ideas on Friday (13/9) last week. Not by the fluffy snow, by sprinkling shaved ice and slush with snow machine to the volunteers.Regularly in July and August, the summer heat in Japan might exceed 30°Celsius. The natural phenomenon raised caution for heatstroke and dizziness that might affect the athletes.
While scorching heat of the summer season had been hitting Tokyo, last Friday, however, showed a drastic change of temperature to somehow breezy at 25°Celsius. Therefore, when the snow hit the volunteers, some enjoyed it, while some grimaced due to the chilly feeling.
However, another problem occurred. Because it is ice, when it dissolves, it makes the volunteers wet and the floor slippery. Some learned it the hard way as they slipped over the wet floor.
Taka Okamura, Senior Director at the Tokyo 2020 Organizing Committee, stated that his team was doing his best to keep the spectators comfortable. Considering the snow machines, Okamura declined to reveal the budget estimation.
“We are doing our best to tackle the heat for the Olympics. This (the ice) is not our actual means but we think that the icy touch of the shaved ice might be comfortable for the spectators,” said Okamura, “this does not make the temperature any cooler. But we hope that it will comfort them.”
Okamura said that other means were also being tested such as air-conditioned rest areas, vapor sprays, and even water/ice packs. To tackle the heat for the contestants, Okamura revealed that they would paint the road with resin to counter the UV ray and to cut the temperature by as much as 8°Celsius.
