Olympics-Test marathon gives Tokyo a taste of what to expect at 2020 Games via SABCNewsOnline

Sunday's race featured tents equipped with mist machines for spectators. Officials handed out ice cubes and ice scarves to families waiting in the sun. At some of the rest stops officials said they also planned to give out plastic hand-held fans.

Organisers have been sweating over how to protect athletes from heatstroke and keep spectators cool during Tokyo’s notoriously hot and muggy summers.
