Rio officials say the green swamp pool issue is because chemistry isn't an exact science. They also said they weren't fixing the diving pool because "they don't spend as much time as the water polo/synchro swim competitors do" Last I checked, chemistry was indeed an exact science.

And great. They're going to give up and drain the polo pool for synchronized swimming. I think the divers have been messing up because they reallllly don't want to be in it.

NBC was going through the line-up at the starting line for the men's 10,000 and as they're talking about a Kenyan who they were saying is a favorite, the Japanese runner next to him lets out a massive, extended yawn. I'm rooting for Bored Japanese Runner.

Shenanigans in the Long Jump. Hilariously wrong measurement, but you know what? We'll just rake away all the marks in the sand before they can even protest the measurement. GG Rio.

goatface posted:Nah, he hit that sand, really obvious in the head on. Yeah, after seeing the head-on I agree. However, the pit keepers are supposed to wait until enough time has passed for the current jumper to register a protest for a re-measure before they wipe the evidence. These guys are raking like they get a bonus based on how many jumpers they push through in the least amount of time.

With the hilarious amount of corruption going on here, there's a non-zero chance that they actually do.

It's nearly halfway through the events and there's no major incidents, just the unity and celebration of athletic prowess that we expect from the Olympics. I made this clear in the other Rio megathread, but I feel sorry for a bunch of computer nerds who have probably never played sport in their lives that have nothing better to do than sit and make snarky comments.

Guys, we need to ease up on the shaming in this thread o' shame. Also, can we start betting on what they're going to use for the open water swimming platform? I saw someone had a big inflatable thing out in the background at Copacabana the other day. That should work, right? Then deflate and place in biohazard containment when you're done.

You mean those giant airbed things and we have all the entrants lie down on one side and then have a bunch of power-lifters and shot-putters jump onto it from a crane on the other side? Shoots everyone into the bay like a rolling start car race? Get that poo poo sorted!
