CNN  

Heat, humidity and tropical systems have been the nemesis of athletes during these Olympic Games, and the closing weekend will bring more of the same. Organizers tried to help athletes to escape the heat and humidity by shifting venues and event times for the first few weeks, but it will still plague the upcoming marathon. Due to rain in the forecast, Tokyo’s high temperature Saturday will be 88, and Sapporo’s will be 93. The women’s marathon takes place Saturday morning while the men race Sunday. Organizers moved the start of the women’s race an hour earlier, to 6 a.m., to avoid the heat.
