yisman Posted August 14, 2016 Report Share Posted August 14, 2016 http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/13/sports/olympics/green-water-swimming-pools-rio-games.html?action=click&contentCollection=Olympics&module=RelatedCoverage®ion=EndOfArticle&pgtype=article&_r=0 RIO DE JANEIRO — Why can’t they fix the swimming pools at the Rio Olympics?The water in two of the competition pools has grown progressively greener and murkier all week, even as officials have been unable to provide a plausible explanation for the problem, let alone solve it.Things had gotten so bad on Friday that athletes were complaining of eye irritation, morning diving practice was canceled in one of the pools and officials said that the second pool, which is used for water polo and synchronized swimming, would probably have to be drained completely and refilled with water from a nearby practice pool.

MonkeyF0cker Posted August 14, 2016 Report Share Posted August 14, 2016 They drained the one for synchronized swimming and refilled it. It was just on TV in the background and I was too lazy to turn the channel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingRevolver Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 I'm sure Qatar is on the radar. I hope those assholes are embarrassed in the World Cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FairWarning Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Wouldn't happen in a Europeon country.France may become fully Muslim by the time they host the next olympics. Good for the olympics for these troubles. They tried to extort Chicago for these games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
