An Engineer’s Hypothesis On The Current Stir From The Rio Pool
Yet another new theory has surfaced that suggests the structure of the Olympic swimming pool may have given some swimmers advantages in Rio.
According to Timothy Wei, a professor of mechanical and materials engineering at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, the strange swim time trends could have been caused by wave patterns created by the motion of the swimmers in the race. It’s possible, he said, that some sort of interaction between the waves and the pool itself could have created the issue that multiple analysts have raised in reviewing the results from Rio.

Federal regulators want to ban swimming with dolphins in Hawaii
Federal regulators are proposing to ban swimming with dolphinsย in Hawaii, a move that could imperil one of the Aloha Stateโs most popular tourist activities and the industry that has sprung up around it.
The National Marine Fisheries Service says spinner dolphins — the playful nocturnal species that humans in Hawaii routinely frolic with — are being deprived of rest during the day and becoming stressed out.

Report: Rio police exaggerated their version of Ryan Lochte events, too
There is no evidence Ryan Lochte or his three U.S. swimming teammates ever entered โ let alone damaged โ a bathroom at the gas station where a late-night rest stop exploded into an international incident at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics last week, according to a USA Today report on Monday night.
In a press conference called to debunk Lochteโs claims of a robbery at gunpoint, Rio police chief Fernando Veloso painted the bathroom as a crime scene, claiming American swimmers Gunnar Bentz, Jack Conger and Jimmy Feigen, along with Lochte, broke a soap dispenser and mirror. Meanwhile, media outlets cited law enforcement officials who accused them of also breaking a bathroom door.
However, there is no such damage, and none of those items appear to have been replaced, per the USA Today report. Likewise, the newspaper reviewed extensive security footage from the Shell station, including a camera aimed at the restroom entrance, and the swimmers never entered the door.
Instead, the swimmers urinated on the backside of the gas station, and an intoxicated Lochte tore a โloosely attachedโ advertisement from an exterior wall, according to a police statement from Bentz and an eyewitness account to USA Today by Fernando Deluz โ a disc jockey who translated the heated discussion between the American swimmers and the Portuguese-speaking security guards.
โIf I hadnโt involved myself,โ Deluz told the newspaper, adding that one guard had drawn his gun, โI thought โ the police chief told me, โMan, if you hadnโt gone there in that moment, a tragedy could have occurred.โ
