How Will Japan Beat the Heat for Tokyo 2020?
The heatwave has been a concern for Tokyo 2020 officials, but they tried to take the initiative by unveiling some measures to beat the heat during next summer’s Olympics. Among them are mist sprays, cooling scarves, and pots of morning glory flowers.Doctors warned the officials to see that there will be some possible medical emergencies during the Games as the athletes, volunteers, and spectators face sweltering summer in Tokyo where the mercury predicted can easily reach 40 degrees Celsius.
Just last year, during Japan’s deadly heatwave a meteorological agency told the citizens in the areas where temperatures were as high as 35 degrees or higher to be extremely careful in order to avoid the heatstroke.
Shade spaces, rest areas for ill people, cooling fans, and misting stations will be provided in the Games areas, as the organizer plans to combat the heat. Tokyo 2022 also introduced a new line of licensed products designed for heat prevention, such as cooling scarves and sun visors.
Tokyo 2020 Games Delivery Officer Hidemasa Nakamura also revealed that the organizer is considering to allow fans, under certain conditions, to bring in their own drink bottles.
In addition, there’s also a unique preventive measure that will be applied, which is the use of summer flowers like morning glories. Flowers will be put in line by elementary school students instead of the unattractive fences. Nakamura added this is intended for the psychological measure.
Outdoor sports like the mountain biking, triathlon, rugby sevens, and the marathon have also been brought forward to avoid the worst of blistering temperatures.
The hottest day in the history of the Olympics games was recorded at the 2004 Athens Games when the temperature jumped to 36 degrees Celsius.
