Overview

• Outside temperatures in Jakarta hover near 33°C and humid while the IMS Arena and adjacent halls are cooled to what athletes describe as winter-like levels.
• German all-around champion Timo Eder said entering the warm-up hall without having warmed up felt very, very cold and prompted concern.
• Competitors report that the competition floor is the coldest area, with both the training and warm-up halls also kept at ice-box levels.
• Nils Dunkel said the lone podium training before the championships felt even colder and not like normal room temperature he experiences in Germany.
• Organizers adjusted settings after athlete feedback, making the qualification round less harsh as gymnasts relied on thorough warm-ups, warm hands, and a slightly warmer section of the warm-up hall.
