On Tuesday, A tropical storm churned towards Japan and the Olympic games , whipping up welcome waves for surfing medal hopefuls but disrupting other events with rain and strong winds.
Olympic organisers have rescheduled rowing and archery over concerns about high winds from Tropical Storm Nepartak, which is packing gusts of up to 108 kilometres (67 miles) an hour.
The Storm, currently around 190 kilometres east of Choshi city , was originally headed for Tokyo, but has shifted north and is now expected to make landfall around the Miyagi region early on Wednesday.
“Games in Miyagi and Ibaraki will be held as scheduled. We expect spectators to come watch too,” Tokyo 2020 spokesman Masa Takaya told reporters.
