Tokyo 2020 organisers blast volunteers with fake snow as they trial ever more extreme ways to beat the heat ahead of the Olympic Games
Artificial snow falls onto journalists seated in a stand during the Ready Steady Tokyo canoe sprint event, a test event ahead of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo on September 13, 2019.
And ironically, after several weeks of almost unbroken heat and humidity, Friday saw temperatures in the Japanese capital drop sharply, no doubt to the relief of millions of Tokyo commuters and players training for the forthcoming Rugby World Cup. Photographers take pictures of artificial snow being generated near the stands during the Ready Steady Tokyo canoe sprint event, a test event ahead of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo on September 13, 2019.
Tokyo 2020 organisers have largely won praise for their preparations for the Games. With the construction work on track, IOC President Thomas Bach has said Tokyo is the best-prepared host ever with less than a year to go until the opening ceremony.
