                         thermal comfort of spectators and athletes and the prevailing 
                         meteorological conditions during Rio 2016 Olympic Games. Empirical 
                         and physiological thermal comfort indices are calculated from data 
                         collected from an automatic weather station installed near the 
                         Olympic Stadium and interviews with the spectators. The study 
                         period was marked by a gradual rise in air temperature and by the 
                         occurrence of two significant weather events associated with wind 
                         gusts, which caused disturbances in some areas of the 
                         competitions. ET and NET were below the air temperature, 
                         indicating that both humidity and wind contributed to the 
                         reduction of the human-biometeorological indices. Majority of the 
                         interviewed persons reported comfortable sensation and weather 
                         conditions. These perceptions corroborate results of the thermal 
                         comfort indices calculated for these resting spectators. The 
                         comfort indices calculated for the athletes with high level of 
                         physical activity showed that PET estimated hotter thermal 
                         sensation those for the individuals at rest, indicating that the 
                         physical type of a person may strongly influence the thermal 
                         sensation and comfort during intense physical activity. Increasing 
                         trend observed in all the indices of human thermal comfort during 
                         the period of study shows consistency among them.",
