Games is hot

Reuters, Athens
Olympic swimming was the hottest ticket in town on Saturday, and not just because of Michael Phelps and Ian
Thorpe.
While those competing in one of the Games' glamour sports took the blazing Athens heat in their stride, it was a different story for the paying public and press as the mercury hit 37 degrees Celsius.
Reporters at the open-air Aquatic Centre sheltered under umbrellas or crouched behind makeshift cardboard screens to guard against the glare, heads covered in towels to prevent the sweat dripping on to baking keyboards.
"You can only last for a couple of races and then you need to go and stand outside in the shade and wait for the breeze to kick in," said American visitor Leslie Lanne, watching sister Colleen help the US team to qualify for the 4x100 metres freestyle relay final.
"But I'm originally from Arizona and it gets a lot hotter there," she said.
At the cycling, officials handed out light blue Athens 2004 umbrellas in the sweltering press seating area while ice cream vendors did a roaring trade.
"I was baked, and then I was fried," said Carol, a spectator from Dallas, after watching the beach volleyball on the coast.
The world's top athletes, with ice vests and a range of hi-tech materials to help them keep cool, expressed few concerns.
Tennis players, used to the heat of Australia and tournaments around the world, shrugged off the conditions: "We are all professional athletes, we will be okay," said British medal hope Tim Henman.
"The heat did not affect me at all because in Brazil we're used to competing more or less like it is here," said 400 metres individual medley swimmer Lucas Salatta.
Andrew Mackay of the Cayman Islands added: "We're from the Caribbean so we're used to this but it's definitely really hot here. The goal is just to stay in the shade and then get out there and race even
though it's hot.
"The sun gets in your eyes but that is what tinted goggles are for."
The Aquatics Centre was supposed to have a roof but that idea was shelved before the Games due to construction delays -- a good thing according to some.
"I think it would have blocked the breeze and probably made it even worse," Lanne said.
At the softball, spectators were warned every couple of innings to drink plenty of liquid while officials handed out bottles of water at the rowing.
"It's very, very dry out there," gasped British coxless four rowing hope James Cracknell.
The Dutch rowing crew wore kit made from a special cooling material, reflecting the sun and dispersing body heat by allowing sweat to evaporate more efficiently.
There was more typical attire at the popular beach volleyball venue, where bikini-clad women and bare-chested men ignored the fierce heat.
