They won't be cool in the summer heat, I can assure you that.
Capuchin
That's quite the warm welcome.
Michael Machida
Right. Telling someone you are so cool is not cool. Calling yourself Cool Japan is not cool either.

Being called cool in japan is hardly an achievement

In the summer heat in Japan during the vaccine-less covid era?
More like a 47-day boot camp with manual labor.
I wouldn’t call the Australian team cool, I’d call them insane!

Isn’t the idea of a Bubble to stay inside it?

“Nationalism’ before “Omotenashi”…
…the ‘true’ 2020[-21] Olympics’ Motto!

Is there not “one” over 60+ Japanese politician, or government official, connected with these Olympics, that hasn’t ‘put their foot in their mouth”?
John Noun
Yeah, how embarrassing. I bet the Australian team felt their skin crawling.

Now Mr. Shimizu, why don't you go stand outside family victim homes, whose siblings perished from this mad pandemic, and tell them eye-to-eye: "You are so cool, you guys are really cool".

Will they remain "cool" after they will be cooked and roasted by the wonderful hot and humid environment?
But maybe I am wrong,because I still remember the great maximum leader aka former PM that clearly told us that Japanese summer is warm and mild enough to make a perfect environment for athletes.

Another govt. official putting his foot in his mouth.

Darius/Williams77: They are Australian, A warm day in a Australian summer is 30c to 40c. a hot day 40c + Tokyo weather will not be a problem. Plus most of these girls are x rep cricketers. They are use to standing out in the hot sun for 6 hours each day, a game last 5 day. Where they be in the sun for only a innings at a time.

Unless they all come from north of the tropic of Capricorn, it's the humidity not the temperature that's the problem.

The IOC keep saying that athletes will not meet any locals, and that is why the games are safe.

Australia. Cool. Negative.
