Chinese athletes to stay chilled in Athens
Tue 6 July, 2004 10:27

BEIJING (Reuters) - China's Olympic team will aim to beat the heat at the Athens Games next month with the help of refrigerated jackets.

With temperatures expected to soar to 40 degrees Celsius in the Greek capital Chinese athletes, who in the past have benefited from turtle's blood and caterpillar fungus, will take advantage of the specially designed suits.

The garments, meant to be worn during warm-ups and breaks, contain a special gel that keeps cold after being chilled in a refrigerator or ice water, the China Daily newspaper said on Tuesday.

"What is more amazing is that the jackets are capable of temperature adjusting. If it is too cold, the jackets can warm an athlete after being heated in a microwave oven," the China Daily said.

TOKYO, July 30 (UPI) --Japanese technician Hiroshi Ichigaya has invented what he calls the world's first air-conditioned shirt.
While most shirts trap an individual's sweat -- keeping it from evaporating -- Ichigaya's invention creates circulating air to enhance evaporation through the use of two small battery-operated fans, the Mail on Sunday said. All electrical parts of the shirt can be removed to allow for washing, and the shirt can even be powered by plugging it into a computer through a USB cord....more....
