Tokyo 2020, typhoon Nepartak is coming: program at risk of changes

The organizers of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games have started rescheduling events due to typhoon Nepartak approaching the Japanese capital where it is expected to arrive on Tuesday. Meteorological authorities have anticipated the arrival of heavy rains, gale force winds and high waves that could hit the region as early as Monday. Rowing moved all events from Monday to Sunday and Tuesday was also canceled with events moved to Wednesday. Other outdoor sports could follow the same process, the organizers are in close contact with the sports federations for the rescheduling and modification of the program. For now, the athletes have had to contend primarily with high temperatures and humidity, with tennis applying its extreme heat rules with longer change breaks and a 10-minute break before the third set.
