Rio Olympics 2016: Green pools, giant rodents, robberies

Not again! After the Rio diving pool turned green, the nearby pool used for water polo and synchronised swimming went from aqua blue to swamp green. Olympic officials said they had pinpointed the reason - a chemical imbalance caused by too many people using the water. (New York Times)
The pools are not the only things turning green. American swimmer Ryan Lochte dyed his hair platinum before Rio but he must have not read the small print on the bottle about avoiding chlorine. His silver locks have now started to go green as well.
Leeds Civic Hall will be lit up by special golden lights to mark the Olympic success of divers Jack Laugher and Chris Mears, but BBC Radio 5 live commentator Steve Parry said the city should turn its pools green instead as a tribute.
It wasn't all praise for the diving duo, with Laugher told his post-competition urine sample was "not good enough". He told BBC Radio 5 live: "That is a kick in the teeth after getting a gold medal... being told you're not good enough at weeing!"
