    Japan is quite unfortunate to be located in an area that is not only prone to typhoons but also lies on tectonic plate boundaries. So it's pretty much prone to any natural disaster you can think of.

    What sort of conditions are we expecting for the race tomorrow? Torrential rain, high winds, anyone have an update? Is there a risk it will be called off?

    I'm unsure whether to risk setting my alarm for ten to 6 or not. Reckon they might abandon quali.

    Indeed. And only a relatively small percentage of Japan is easily habitable, so the vast majority of people are clustered into cities. Which presents problems, given the tectonic instability and location for wind storms.

    British sisters get medals in the gymnastics world championships.

    Watching the rings now... I’m in awe at these men. Strength. Control. Style. Wow.

    Obviously I love Charles, but I’ll be surprised if he doesn’t get a penalty. Still, hard to feel sympathy for Max.

    No penalty for Seb, and now re-investigating the Charles/Max incident. Stewards looking silly here.
