Athens

A woman's body was found early Tuesday inside a burned-out Athens factory, state news agency ANA said, in what is believed to be the first reported death from a disastrous wildfire that has scorched the city's northeastern suburbs.

Thousands of people fled their homes around Athens on Monday, including in the historic town of Marathon, as strong winds fanned a wall of wildfire flames closer to the Greek capital.

The result made Lyles the first American, male or female, to win the event since Justin Gatlin took gold in the 2004 Athens Games.

Pierre de Coubertin was a co-founder of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). Athens hosted the first ever Olympic Games in 1896.

Greece's most visited tourist attraction, the Athens Acropolis, is to close during the hottest hours of Wednesday, authorities said as a heatwave scorches the country.

Greece shut more ancient tourist sites in Athens on Thursday and elderly people took refuge at designated air-conditioned spots as the first heatwave of the summer persisted for a third day.
