Sure it can. Especially if you don't test it or use enough chemicals to combat it.

They said twice on CBC last night that the algae hypothesis had been brought up but they didn't think it was the cause. There was also no film on the water, which would have been present if it was algae.

Weird that they kept going back and forth and denying that it was algae, but the organizers also told open water swimmers not to get water in their mouth to prevent getting grievously sick from the bacteria, so it's not surprising.

Honduras knocked Argentina out of the Olympics in the men's football tournament with their draw. Argentina had won gold medals in two of the previous three tournaments.
True.

Phelps is anything but obnoxious. He never even celebrates with the exception of the other night after winning the 200m butterfly because the South African, le Clos, spent four years trash-talking after beating him in London.
Lochte is just really stupid. Not obnoxious though.

Great Britain knocks out Argentina in extra time in men's rugby sevens. Scoreless game until the golden try there. Japan also somehow kept their miracle run going with a last minute try against heavily-favoured France earlier in the day. :eek6:

Interestingly, tug of war was actually an Olympic event from 1900 to 1920.
Great Britain won two gold medals, the United States one, Sweden one, and a mixed Olympic team one over the five Summer Games it was contested.

Regarding the pool going green...I really feel like anyone who doubts that algae can take over a pool that quickly has never owned a swimming pool that they maintain at any sort of comfortable temperature.
That's not even a bad algae bloom....the water is still relatively clear, it's just green. A bad algae bloom in a swimming pool makes the water pretty opaque after 2-3 feet of depth.

As a shitty pool owner. Can confirm.
