At a Glance A brush fire burned Monday afternoon near several Olympic venues in Rio de Janeiro.

All events were played as scheduled, and the ash that fell from the fire did not have a major impact on play. A brush fire burned Monday near the Olympic cycling course in Rio de Janeiro, causing ash from the blaze to fall on the field hockey facility.

The fire started Monday afternoon as temperatures at the Deodoro Olympic Park soared to 97 degrees and winds turned gusty. The blaze was located near X-Park, which is hosting canoe slalom, BMX and mountain biking events. Later in the day, heavy rain fell on Rio, which delayed some of the track and field events.

Ash from the brush fire did not force any delays in a field hockey quarterfinal game between Britain and Spain, and the strong winds quickly blew away any ash that fell on the field.

High winds rattled and shook the media workroom tent on the site and blew smoke and ash into the area. Germany and the United States had finished playing about an hour before the problem became noticeable.

The International Cycling Union says it will check on Tuesday for any potential impact on the mountain bike course.

Practice on the mountain bike course begins Wednesday. The women's race will be held Saturday, with the men's race on Sunday.
