Olympics-Organisers probe drinking incident as Tokyo sizzles

TOKYO: Olympic organisers were on Sunday investigating after a group of athletes was found drinking together at the Village, while Tokyo sizzled in scorching temperatures as Tokyo 2020 lurched into day nine.

Organisers had previously said athletes were permitted to drink alcohol only in their rooms and only if they are alone, as a precaution against the virus - a far cry from earlier Games where many athletes celebrated long and hard after their events. The feat saw McKeon join Michael Phelps, Mark Spitz and Matt Biondi as the only swimmers with seven medals at a Games. Russian gymnast Maria Gorokhovskaya, in 1952, is the only woman to have won seven in any other sport.

The United States ended what an enthralling swimming competition in Tokyo with 11 gold medals, five fewer than in Rio and London. Australia won nine, their most swimming golds at a Games, and Britain left with four golds as part of a record haul of eight total medals. Instead she has performed just one single vault and has remained on the sidelines to focus on her mental health.

Going to be all red next week.
