Typhoon threat risks Asian Games accommodation in Nagoya
Organisers of the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games face a weather threat as forecasts show a possible typhoon could reach Honshu just days after heavy rain forced earlier evacuations. Around 4,000 athletes and officials are housed aboard the Costa Serena cruise ship, which arrived on September 15 and will serve as accommodation through October 6, and could be moved into open waters if conditions worsen. That move would complicate transport links to venues and require last-minute logistics changes amid a dispersed accommodation strategy that also uses hotels and temporary units for about 17,000 participants from 45 countries.
