Tokyo Olympics / Para Stirring of seawater in Odaiba Stirring system to reduce water temperature February 14, 20:59
At Odaiba Kaihin Park, the venue for the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics triathlon and open water swimming competitions, there is concern over the high water temperature, so we will consider introducing a water flow generator that can be expected to reduce the water temperature by mixing seawater. I understood that it was done.
This was revealed in a press conference held by the chairman of the Games Organizing Committee Mori after the negotiations with the IOC (International Olympic Committee).
Odaiba Kaihin Park, the venue for the Tokyo Games triathlon and open water swimming competitions, will conduct competitions as scheduled if the water quality deteriorates or the water temperature rises due to the weather and exceeds the standard value set by the competition organization It is feared that it will not be possible.
The Organizing Committee stated that it had started considering the introduction of a device to generate water currents in an attempt to lower the water temperature by stirring seawater, and reported that it had been negotiated with the IOC.
Mr. Mori, Chairman of the Organizing Committee, said, "We would like to improve the measures for water quality and temperature at Odaiba Kaihin Park in cooperation with Tokyo Metropolitan Government."
