In this episode of the 4°C Podcast, Precious and Yonela unpack how a warming planet is changing the games we love. We take a closer look at recent events, like the Tokyo Championships, Formula 1, and rugby tournaments affected by heat, to ask: what happens when the climate becomes the biggest opponent?We also explore what adaptation could look like for different sports, from scheduling shifts and new venues to redesigning infrastructure. But what does that mean for the fans, the people in the stands, or those watching at conditions hotter than before? And how might these changes alter the essence and duration of the games themselves?
