Dead Fish clog up 2016 Rio Summer Olympics Venue

Brazilian cleanup teams skimmed right around 43 tons of dead fish a week ago from the Rodrigo de Freitas tidal pond in Rio de Janeiro, where rowers are slated to contend in the 2016 Summer Olympics. A state ecological authority asserts an unexpected temperature change created the vanish, yet researchers aren't purchasing it.


They say sewage activated green growth sprouts, which drain oxygen out of the water. The água is rank and terrible for rivalry the fish bodies, as the above Guardian feature shows, hinder rowers' paddles. Gross.



A fishy tidal pond is not the nation's just Olympic-size natural burden. Mariners will contend in the waste and garbage obstructed Guanabara Bay. The administration had promised to treat 80 percent of the crude sewage entering the water, yet Rio's chairman as of late said that ain't gonna happen. What's more, the fairway constructed for the sport's first appearance at the diversions in 112 years has started natural dissents, since some piece of it was based on a secured nature save. That is a divot you just can't settle.

Tom Daley has prepared his plan for Rio Summer Olympics 2016

Tom Daley is balancing strength, speed and suppleness in his quest for Olympic gold. The Plymouth diver celebrated his FINA World Series gold medal in the men's 10 metres  platform at the London Aquatics Centre earlier this month with a takeaway. But the London 2012 bronze mentalist is allowing himself few blowouts, with his focus on delivering in 2016 Rio Summer Olympics.


Daley said that who moved from Devon to London in January 2014 to work alongside Jane Figueiredo and to make sure he is doing everything. I have no regrets when he stand on the platform. I think that he is closer to Summer Olympics 2016. 


He moved to London, had a change in coach, change in strength and conditioning programme, dietary advice. He have lost a lot of weight. He have been able to get in better shape. He is doing loads of different things, strength programmes, to make me jump higher. He looks physically leaner since winning Commonwealth Games gold at Glasgow 2014.

Olympics 2016 Rowing and Canoeing Venue Cleaned from Dead Fish

Rowing and Canoeing venue of Rio Olympics 2016 has been cleaned from thirty-two tonnes of dead fish. Above 60 persons from the Rio's sanitation department were working on the task to remove the fish from the Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas over the past week. Some professionals think contamination is the reason, whereas the others say it is down to an unexpected fall in water temperature.


A lot of dead fish have been cleaned up regularly at the Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas for more than a decade. In February, a large number of dead fish were found in Guanabara Bay, where the sailing events will take place. In the past, the location has created problems due to the levels of refuse and untreated sewage in the water. In January, Brazil government representatives confessed they would miss their goal of an 80% decrease in water pollution by the start of the Olympic Games.


The Summer Olympic Games will start in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on 5 August next year and will end on 21st of the same month. Stay connected with this blog because we are here to deliver all the latest news and updates about Rio 2016.
