Guest: Dr. Andrew Grundstein


Introduction:

The summer season is upon us and with it the Olympic Games in Tokyo! Today we’re going to focus on how weather comes into play not only during the events themselves, but also how it factors into planning a large-scale international sports event. Today’s guest, Dr. Andrew Grundstein of the University of Georgia, is on the International Olympic Committee for his weather-climate expertise and has been on the podcast before, for his focus on one particular aspect of the heat: how it impacts athletes. So we’re going to focus on Dr. Grundstein’s experience with how weather and climate went into the planning for the Tokyo Games and how weather can affect the athletes competing.
