It's amazing how the body adapts.
Perhaps you should mention that to the British Press and "The Times".

I've just read the Sydney Morning Herald (SMH) article "Australia too hot for sport, says British newspaper" http://www.smh.com.au/news/sport/aus...818525937.html

The Times says "Sooner or later you have to face up to the only sensible conclusion: Australia is no place to host big international sporting tournaments; except maybe the world kangaroo long-jump,"

The SMH says; "The newspaper even suggested that Australia's success in the international sports arena had slid in recent years because of the heat."

Some I think are just being awful.
