Measures against the heat of the Olympics and Para to verify the effect of artificial snowfall September 5th 4:40
As a countermeasure against the heat of the next year's Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, the Organizing Committee will test artificial snow using a snowfall machine at a canoe test competition that starts on the 12th of this month.
For next year's Tokyo Games, test tournaments to check venue management are held for each competition, and verification of heat countermeasures is one of the important issues.
Among these, the “Umi no Mori Floating Stadium” in Tokyo and the coastal area, which is the competition venue for boats and canoes, has been redesigned to reduce maintenance costs, and the roof of the spectator seats is only a part.
Some people were concerned about heat stroke because they were exposed to the sun directly at the boat competition held last month.
For this reason, the Organizing Committee has revealed the idea of putting artificial snow on the spectator seats to relieve the heat at the Canoe Print Test Competition, which begins on the 12th of this month.
The snow is planned to fall about 1 ton a day using a small snowfall machine. In addition to listening to the staff who looked at the audience, we will use a measuring device to verify how much the heat index will fall. .
“We would like to try the possibility as a measure against heat.
