See anything wrong with the image below? Unless they colored the water to be festive, something is off.
People started asking questions as to why the water was turning green throughout Tuesday, especially since it was a pleasant blue in the morning.
Unfortunately for the women's synchronized diving teams, the finals were taking place in that very pool, though that didn't stop them from continuing!
Martyn Ziegler, a reporter for The Times, tweeted, "#greenpool - @toniacouch says it was so green she couldn't see dive partner @LoisToulson under the water #Rio2016."
Even Tom Daley, a diver from Great Britain that won bronze, was taken back by the weird color.
Officials have reported that tests came back saying the water was safe, though they're unsure what caused it to change color.
According to CBC, some Olympians believe that the discoloration came from algae in the water which had the perfect amount of heat and sunlight to grow out of control.
If that was me in that water, I would be scrambling for my life, trying to get out as fast as possible!
