Olympics-Diving-Swimming pool's green hue stokes puzzlement
RIO DE JANEIRO, Aug 9 (Reuters) - The water in the Olympic diving pool appeared to turn a bright green hue on Tuesday, causing puzzlement among divers and audiences as the women's 10 meter platform final progressed.
Britain's Tom Daley tweeted "Ermmm... what happened?!", alongside a picture of the green-colored pool in the Maria Lenk Aquatics Centre, which contrasted sharply against the still-blue color of another pool beside it.
The center plays host to the diving and waterpolo events. The pool appeared blue during the men's 10 meter platform event on Monday, in which Daley won a bronze medal alongside teammate Daniel Goodfellow. (Reporting by Brenda Goh; Editing by Bill Rigby)
