'The Wall Street Journal': Rio Taking ‘Radical Measures’ on Green Pools

Compartilhar

The Rio 2016 Organizing Committee promised “radical measures” to deal with the green water at the Olympic Park’s aquatics center, including draining some of it later this evening.“We’re moving to a more radical approach,” Rio 2016 spokesman Mario Andrada told reporters Saturday. 

“Part of the water in the main pool will be replaced later in the evening.”

Rio officials will hold a news conference Saturday afternoon to elaborate on the water issue at the water polo and diving pools, which has become a high-profile embarrassment for the organizers of the Rio Games.
