Yeah, you have to watch out for the corpses, the submerged furniture, and the constant nagging fear of what you catch from the poo poo water might be completely antibiotic resistant

Diving Pool update: Apparently, they put hydrogen peroxide in the water which neutralized the chlorine.

It depends how much chlorine or hydrogen peroxide was put in, but you might get HCl gas.

It should mostly reduce to Salt. Chlorine gas shouldn't be a problem. Whatever else the gently caress they've got in there though, whatever was making it smell of farts, gently caress knows what it'll do with that.

4:30 p.m.

Practice for the open water swimming competition at Fort Copacabana has been canceled after the starting platform sank.

The platform was wrecked on Saturday because of weather conditions, two days before the 10-kilometer women's race. According to Mario Andrada, spokesman for Rio 2016, it broke into three pieces .

Officials are working to recover the structure on Copacabana beach, where it was found.

Ah, sorry if I missed it there in the articles.

If you were a distance swimmer, would you be too upset if they just cancelled the whole thing?

Still diving going on, pool looks like a lake.

Someone asked earlier about showering with the diving, looks like they shower before and after (and the hot tubs, which are looking pretty gross too). Helps with rinsing chlorine off (or lowering its impact) and staying warm.

The velodrome races are weirdly fascinating. For some reason, I'm finding the slow circling stare-downs hilarious. If I knew what was actually going on, I'm sure it would be less funny to me.

The races where they just track stand for a while, then end really fast?

It's a game of chicken. Whoever blinks first has to go in front, and is at a big disadvantage - the other rider will be able to draft behind them, saving a poo poo-ton of energy, and will have enough juice to wait until the final turn then blast past them to win.

Only the last few hundred meters is timed, so until then it's just a bunch of mind games.

It doesn't make it any less funny to me.

If it's two dudes on bikes staring each other down and going really slow that's the professional flinching contest event. Match Sprint is weird.

Great loving tactic.

There's a story about Greg LeMond (IIRC, it may be someone else) having a massive case of the shits during a bike race so he pulled his bike shorts down using the nose of his saddle and let that poo poo fly all over his rear wheel, the road, and the other cyclists following right behind him.

It was a bad peach, LeMond reckoned. After eating it, his stomach reacted violently. He turned to a teammate: ‘Pass me your hat.’

‘What do you want my hat for?’

‘Please, just pass me the goddamn hat!’

The one where they have to start by following goony dude on a little electric scooter is the best.

Also because during a crash, one of the cyclists was so determined to hang out, she ended up riding on the wall as she passed the crash.
