[intero] Are the Paris Olympics without air conditioning real?

The report explained that on July 25, 2019, five years before the opening of this Olympics, “the temperature in Paris hit an all-time high of 108.7 degrees Fahrenheit (42.6 degrees Celsius),” and that about 5,000 people died in France last summer due to the heat.

However, the problem is that the Paris Olympic Organizing Committee did not install air conditioning in the athletes' village. The plan is to achieve natural cooling by varying the layout and size of buildings to promote air circulation between buildings. Through this, the goal is to maintain the internal temperature about 6 degrees Celsius lower than the outside, even during heat waves.

On the 12th, the Korea Sports Council announced, “We plan to produce cooling jackets and cooling sheets using eco-friendly special refrigerant (PCM) and distribute them to national team athletes leaving for Paris.”

The Sports Association is also positively considering purchasing convenient ice coolers locally as an air conditioner and installing them in the athletes' village rooms where Korean athletes stay.

There are also foreign players who bring their own air conditioners.

When players take a break during the heat wave, they need to cool down and recover their stamina. What are they going to do?
