The Olympic water polo pool has turned green now, too
NBC
Less than 24 hours after the Olympic diving pool turned an unsettling shade of green as a result of an algae boom, the neighboring water polo pool appears also to have been overtaken by algae and is, we can report, turning green too.
On Tuesday during the women's 10-meter synchronized diving final, the water in the diving pool turned a murky shade of green. Rio officials were unable to explain the color change. However, one diving official believes that the presence of algae caused the water to turn green.
The green color may look nasty, but diving officials said there was no danger to the different color. Some divers actually went so far as to say that the green water helped their diving, as it allowed for them to differentiate between the sky and the water. Others, however, said it made their dives more difficult.
Here's a picture from yesterday, of the diving pool next to the water polo pool, which at that time was still blue.
