Following last night’s opening ceremony, the sun has risen on the first full day of action at Tokyo 2020. The heat has been stifling on the ground so far – even last night at the Olympic Stadium the temperature was in the high 20s celsius until past midnight. How the athletes cope with the humid conditions has been a major topic of conversation in the build-up; we saw the effects it could have yesterday when a Russian archer passed out from heat stress. And we’re set for another scorcher today, with temperatures expected to hit 32C. That is sure to pose a test for the male cyclists in their gruelling road race on boiling tarmac around Mount Fuji while hockey players will also feel the heat on the astroturf of Oi Hockey Stadium, with the men’s tournament about to begin when Australia face the home nation.
