‘Green Nightmare’ Threatens Olympic Sailing Venue

Atlanta, GA 7/03/2008 05:10 PM GMT (TransWorldNews)

A ‘green nightmare’ is threatening the 2008 Olympic sailing venue weeks before the start of the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. A massive algae bloom that has overtaken the waters off the coast of Qingdao, China has been likened to a natural disaster.

Chinese officials were initially worried when the algae bloom appeared in coastal waters in early May. The algae now covers miles of waterway, and the green glop is causing a nightmare as authorities try to clean it up and keep it contained.

Olympic athletes in China for early training exercises have found the algae bloom a hindrance as they compete in practice sailing runs. Several boats have become so mired in the vegetation they had to be towed out.

The pressure is on for the Chinese Olympic committee as they have no alternate plans for a sailing venue.
