The starting time of a marathon swimming test event was moved forward as a countermeasure against heat.

The weather during the actual Games less than a year from now is a matter of concern.

Temperature at places directly exposed to sunlight at the facility pushed 34 shortly before 10 a.m. on Sunday.

At the venue, officials of the Tokyo metropolitan government distributed cooling agents and set up tents made with thermal barrier materials for spectators who were waiting for buses. However, one of the spectators displaying symptoms of heatstroke received medical treatment in a medical room. According to the Japan Rowing Association, 10 participating athletes said they felt ill, primarily during an awards ceremony that was held outdoors. On the same day, a marathon swimming test event was held at Odaiba Marine Park in Tokyo. Due to the fear of rising water temperatures caused by the extremely hot weather, the starting time of the race was moved from 10 a.m.
