The Latest: Out with the green, in with the blue for synchro

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — The Latest on the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro (all times local):

9:50 a.m.

Goodbye, green. Hello again, blue. Hope you can stick around awhile.

Synchronized swimmers were greeted by clear blue water in the competition pool Sunday after officials worked through the night to replace murky green water that's become a big embarrassment for Rio Games organizers.

Replacing the water in time for the early-morning training and competition at 11 a.m. local time was a significant challenge — the pool holds nearly 1 million gallons.

But divers were training as expected Sunday morning.
