The action in Brazil at the Pan American Games got so hot that it set the arena on fire. During a 130kg Greco match the arena had to be evacuated and the matches were put on hold as everyone left the building. 

Competition in Brazil is heating up. Tournament postponed due to arena catching on fire. Will keep you updated.

No...the arena legitimately just filled with black smoke and everyone has been evacuated. I'm sure the show will still go on! Posted for now

This seems somewhat appropriate to post now. Arena floor in Brazil was flooded. Electric circuits & wiring all over the place. pic.twitter.com/uxFEuPN4T8
