Is Someone Farting Or Is That Just The Disgusting Olympic Diving Pool?
In today’s #RioProblems, we take you to the Olympic diving pool, which once again has turned green.
Maria Lenk Aquatics Center temporarily was closed Friday while officials tried to figure out a solution to the water-quality issues that have plagued the diving, synchronized swimming and water polo pool in Rio de Janeiro.
Apparently, the smell in the building is just as bad as how the pool looks.

But everything seemingly is fine now, as NBC News reported the pool reopened for diving practice at noon.
Just don’t tell that to the divers already feeling side effects from the water.
Reports of divers claiming they have "itchy eyes" after events so the pool has been closed this morning…#Rio2016
