A Russian archer fainted in the Tokyo heat during a qualifying Olympic round on Friday as a heatwave pushed coaches and staff to huddle under trees for shade.
Svetlana Gomboeva collapsed as she checked her final scores and required assistance from staff and team-mates who put bags of ice on her head to cool her down.
'We hope that she will be okay. It turns out that she couldn't stand a whole day out in the heat,' coach Stanislav Popov told reporters.
