With tropical storm Nepartak bearing down on Japan, Tokyo Olympic surfers are looking forward to bigger and better waves in the days ahead. TokyoOlympics
In advance of the storm World Rowing, in consultation with the International Olympic Committee and the local Tokyo organizing committee, moved events scheduled for Monday at the Sea Forest Waterway in Tokyo Bay to Sunday while Tuesday’s events — including medal races in the men’s and women’s quadruple sculls, and semifinals for both the lightweight men’s and women’s double sculls and men’s and women’s pairs — were postponed until Wednesday.
“In the case of rowing, as a protective measure we have decided to change the event schedule,” he added. “We’re looking closely at the path [and] will take responsible measures.” Typhoon-strength storms are common in Japan but are more frequent in the latter part of the summer and early fall. When Typhoon Hagibis hit eastern Japan in October 2019, it caused widespread damage and force the cancellation of some matches in the Rugby World Cup.
“It’s neither here nor there. The conditions will be the conditions,” said Mike Friday, coach of the U.S. men’s rugby sevens. The men’s competition begins Monday and 12 matches, including four quarterfinals, are scheduled for Tuesday.
