Swimming in poo: Fears of sewage leak in Olympic venue
Forget the heat, it’s Stinky Bay causing the most concern for our Olympic open water swimmers and triathletes, with concerns raised about the water quality in Tokyo Bay.
A foul odour has been reported at the swimming venue for triathletes and open water swimmers, raising concerns about elevated levels of the dangerous E-coli bacteria.
Heavy rain is forecast in Tokyo from July 27, which raises the risk of sewerage leakage into the bay.
Australian Triathlon team leader Justin Drew said Australia would continue to monitor the water quality in the lead-up to the first day of competition on Monday, July 26, with twice-daily tests at different sample points.
“We are confident in the measures put in place by (the Tokyo organising committee) including the installation of a triple filter screening system for this year as opposed to a single filter used last year for the Test Event,” Drew said.
“There are daily checks of water quality and water temperatures and TOCOG has plans in place to address any issues surrounding the water in the build up to competition days.
