Tokyo Olympics athletes struggle in heat with typhoon forecast tonight in Japan

Sunday People says Games bosses were braced for a typhoon tonight as athletes struggled in blistering heat.

Forecasters warned tropical storm ‘Nepartak’ was sweeping through the Philippine Sea south of Japan at speeds of up to 40mph.

It could disrupt the men’s triathlon on Monday where Team GB’s Rio silver medallist Jonny Brownlee is hoping to go one better.

The tropical ‘depression’ was predicted to move north before taking a sharp turn west towards the mainland.
