Typhoon No. 8 is approaching the Kanto region, affecting the Tokyo Olympics. This is a report from Ichinomiya Town, Chiba Prefecture, where surfing competitions are held. (Reporter Shoharu Yamaki, Social Affairs Department) The weather has changed drastically in the last 10 to 15 minutes. It was sunny, but now it’s cloudy and it’s raining and dying. Among them, the strong wind is consistently unchanged. Occasionally, there is a gust of wind. Even if you look at the sea, it is brown and muddy, and it is impressive that white waves are standing on the whole. According to locals, this beach is usually a calm beach with only knee-high waves, but it was said that it was rough on the 27th. Perhaps because of that, many local surfers who were on the 26th can hardly be seen on the 27th. The Olympic surfing competition is being held under such circumstances, but the final scheduled to be held on the 28th and the 3rd place playoff will be held ahead of schedule. According to the people concerned, it seems that appropriate waves and winds are occasionally occurring as a competition, but the competition is being managed with consideration for safety. Due to the approaching typhoon, the competition schedule may change in a hurry in the future, so the competition officials are still in a state of dismay.
