What did the application expose?
The application submitted to the IOC to get the hosting rights for Tokyo Olympics has exposed some heart-wrenching images when the men’s triathlon ended.
The application has been made available to the public and had also issued a statement which said that the conditions would be “ideal” for the athletes if the games are held in July and August in Tokyo.
The statement in the application read, “There would be lots of mild and sunny weather days and the climate would be ideal for athletes to perform their best.”
The statement has caused a lot of trouble to the Organizing Committee. The maximum temperature on an average in July in Tokyo is 30c and the maximum temperature in August is 31c. And the minimum temperature on an average is 23-24c in Tokyo respectively.
