Why did Rio's Olympic diving pool turn green overnight? | FOX Sports
On Monday, the men in the synchronized platform diving event were dropping 10 meters into lovely, crystal blue water - the kind you'd find at any local pool, country club or Vegas party deck around the world. On Tuesday, it looked like they were diving into the creek you once vacationed at with your friend's parents but never swam in because, well, it looked like garbage water.
Compare Monday...

... to Tuesday.
123

Underwater looked just as unappealing.
