A new report titled 'Rings of Fire' has raised concerns about the extreme heat expected at the Paris 2024 Olympics, warning that it could pose significant health risks to athletes. The report, backed by climate scientists and athletes, suggests that the conditions could be worse than those experienced during the Tokyo 2021 Olympics, which were the hottest on record. World Athletics chief Lord Coe emphasized that climate change should be viewed as an existential threat to sport, with rising global temperatures potentially jeopardizing future editions of the Games. Athletes have expressed fears that the summer heat wave could erode competition and make sports dangerous, with some even warning of life-threatening risks. Scientists warn that the dangerous temperatures could threaten lives. The report underscores the urgent need to address climate change to protect the health and safety of competitors.
