Another now has come from a team of scientists and athletes whove put together the rings of Fire Report published yesterday, looking into how heat could affect the tokyo games. They say the japanese capital is one of the cities most affected by climate change, with a rise in temperature of nearly three degrees in the last century. That� S Led to heatwaves in the last three years, of which one in 2019 caused 5,000 people to go to Hospital Injust one week. The heatwave in 2018 saw so many people suffer that it was classified a natural disaster. This reports been put together by researchers from around the world, including here in britain, who looked at how the heat will affect the athletes. Be fairly confident to say that performances will be impaired across a lot of sports. As we deal with warmer climates and have the increased likelihood of heat waves, then the sport as a spectacle will be impacted. These guys will push themselves to the point where they will collapse and the likelihood of that happening is much higher in the kind of conditions we are talking about in tokyo. Well one event specifically referred to in the rings of Fire Report is the marathon at the World Athletics championships in doha two years ago. You might remember it started at midnight to avoid the hottest parts of the day, but even then, in the Womens Race 28 out of the 68 who started couldnt finish it because of the extreme conditions. The Tokyo Marathon has been moved away from the capital to sapporo in the north, where its much cooler, but still athletes and former athletes across events are concerned. In the hall, i believe it was 32 32. 7 degrees come i think once you get to sa, 35 and beyond, you get into territory where you will see a lot more serious heat impacts. It is a real concern, lot more serious heat impacts. It is a real concern, both for the heatwave a real concern, both for the Heatwave Threats and the Athlete Pollution Possibility the Report Raises Pollution Possibility the Report Raises.

Well the report makes recommendations for the organisers including putting protocols in place to postpone or rearrange events where the temperatures are unsafe and to have provisions in place for spectators watching in the heat. Butjohn this is just the latest in a series of setbacks for the ioc and the japanese authorities who now face scientific and political pressure ahead of a games which is due to start in eight weeks time. Absolutely. Were entering a critical Pressure And Pressure is mounting. Thank you, joe. A critical moment. 0rganisers there nor the only ones facing a challenge at the moment, Giro Ditalia Leader Egan Bernal is still in the leaders pink jersey, but for the first time in the race hes lost time to one of his rivals in the top five. A resurgent Simon Yates left bernal trailing by almost a minute moving up from fifth to third. Drew savage reports on stage 17, won by irelands Dan Martin. A change in the weather in the Italian Alps and the first of three Mountain Stages to test them he looked pretty secure in pink with an overall lead in more than two minutes. But there may yet be a twist in the plot. Stage 17 provided two separate spectacles. First, a breakaway, from riders who were no threat to bernal or the overall leaders. Irelands Dan Martin squeezed out the competition and rode away for an impressive Stage Win hes now taken Grand Tour victories in france, spain and italy. Behind him, britian� s Simon Yates, whod slipped to fifth place, forced the pace on the final climb. And we saw something that hadnt happened on the first 16 stages Egan Bernal struggling to keep up and losing time. Hugh carthy, too the englishman dropped from third overall to fifth. Yates was the big winner on the day, gaining almost a minute on bernal and third place with it. Still three minutes 23 seconds behind the colombian, whos two minutes 21 ahead of damiano caruso. But maybe, just maybe, theres something still to race for. A lot can happen.

It is almost like a zoo at my house. Down calm down we have a dog, chickens, birds, budgies Limit Pledges come a cat, it is bananas. Ive been a fisherman, it is a busy job. It is a lot of hours out of the house and sc. But my girls, they keep me going. Every time im having a bad day at sea and feeling down i think about their little faces and it makes me smile. I even sacrificed my surfing to try to take my kids in. But anyway it makes that time surfing more precious. As a kid growing up surfing, surfing was never really classed as an olympic sport. It was always kind of like something that the other kids did. But to have it in the olympics now is amazing and i think for the up and coming kids, the next generation of surfers, itjust opens a new window. I will give it a or i will go all out here and i will do it with a smile. Illjust enjoying every moment. 150 . 150 . Best 150 . Best of to harry. Back to gdansk. 0lly Foster is there.
