TOKYO (Reuters) - Wind and rain buffeted the Tokyo Olympics on Tuesday, causing delays to competition and event rescheduling, but stopping short of battering the host city as initially feared.

While organisers remained on alert to monitor impact from the tropical storm off Japan's east coast, those competitors unaffected by the weather got Day Four of competition off to a flying start.

In the pool, Russian Evgeny Rylov broke a U.S. stranglehold on the men's 100m backstroke, becoming the first non-American to win the event at an Olympics since 1992. The conditions meant there was no training on the practice field at Tokyo's Yumenoshima Park Archery Field, with staff in rain coats placing non-slip mats around the facility.
