Tokyo Olympics water quality... Swimming in poop

The water quality problem at Tokyo's Odaiba Beach, where outdoor water events such as triathlon and marathon swimming will be held, continues to be a controversial issue in Tokyo Olympics. As such criticism was received two years ago, there are voices of concern about the safety of the players.
 

 

Bloomberg News focused on the water quality problem at Odaiba Beach. The article criticized the situation at Odaiba Beach, saying, "The opening of the Olympics is imminent, and the stench of Tokyo's outdoor swimming pool is vibrating."

 

Furthermore, "Even two years ago (here), the triathlon for the disabled was canceled because the E. coli standard set by the International Triathlon Federation was detected. Tokyo has taken drastic measures to restore its faded image. But even after months of hard work, it still smells."

 

Australia's 'Fox Sports' has criticized Odaiba Beach outright, calling it 'dung water'. Fox Sports reported an article titled "Swimming in poop, fear of sewage spills at the Olympic venues."

 

The article also claimed that "concerns have been raised about the quality of the water in Tokyo Bay," and that "it raised concerns among Olympic marathon swimmers and triathletes." "There is a stench around the Odaiba beach," he said. "The risk level of E. coli may also increase."

 

 

Even more worrisome is that there is rain forecast for Tokyo on the 26th and 27th, when the triathlon will be held. Fox Sports warned that "heavy rain is expected in Tokyo (on the day of the triathlon event)," adding that "the risk of sewage spillage to the beach has increased." "If a 100-year-old sewer in Tokyo overflows after a heavy rain, the water flows into this place," he said.
