Athletes Swelter, Pass Out as Heat Wave Hits Tokyo Olympics – The Energy Mix: On Friday, Russian archer Svetlana Gomboeva collapsed in 33°C/91°F
heat during a qualifying round. A day later, Russian tennis player
Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova needed a medical timeout after feeling dizzy
due to the heat. And organizers at Tokyo’s beach volleyball arena “have
started hosing down the sand after competitors complained it was burning
their feet,” NBC News reports.

“The finish line of the men’s triathlon Monday morning looked
something like a battlefield scene, bodies sprawled out on the ground,
trainers coming to the aid of overheated athletes, even a few being
helped off with their arms draped over shoulders,” adds Yahoo Sports columnist Dan Wetzel.
