So, Someone Dumped 160 Liters Of Hydrogen Peroxide In 2 Olympic Pools

FoundOutAboutChemistry, your source for timely news in the sports world.

So, this past summer...

...the diving well in the Rio Olympic pool turned bright green.

You may not be aware, but that's not the color that diving well water is supposed to be.

Unless it's St Pat's Day.

Luckily, we know it's all because somebody dumped hydrogen peroxide into the pool.

160 LITERS OF HYDROGEN PEROXIDE

That's enough to clean up a whole bunch of paper cuts...or to kill the chlorine's ability to destroy organic matter, yielding a pool that 'smells like a fart.'
