China's blooming algae problem that's swamping the Olympics
| Mail Online: "There must be something in the water. From a distance it looks like a magnificent golfing fairway. But get a little closer and it becomes clear that this rolling green carpet is not your average sporting venue.
In fact, this extraordinary picture shows the Olympic sailing venue in Qingdao, East China. It is due to play host to the cream of the international sailing community in little over a month's time. And currently one third of it - 20 square miles - is covered in vivid green algae.
Nicknamed 'The Blob', this vast algal bloom is hampering the British Olympic team's training - their boat repeatedly becoming stuck in the quagmire. With the texture of wet hair and starting to smell like a strongly fishy soup, it is no wonder that the Chinese authorities are desperately trying to get rid of it." continued
