It’s difficult to find an area that hasn’t been affected by climate change, which, among other things, is behind the increased frequency and intensity of heat waves worldwide. Sport is no exception, and competitions like the Winter Olympics and major cycling tours have been — or will be — seriously affected by global warming. The most-watched sporting event on the planet, the FIFA Men’s World Cup, being held in North America and starting in less than a month, will also be impacted by this crisis.

Es difícil encontrar una esfera que no se vea alterada por un cambio climático que, entre otras cuestiones, está detrás del incremento en la frecuencia e intensidad de las olas de calor en el mundo. El deporte no es ajeno y competiciones como los Juegos Olímpicos de Invierno y las grandes vueltas ciclistas se han visto o se verán seriamente afectadas por el calentamiento.
