A piece of a toy doll is seen on Fundao beach in the Guanabara Bay in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, July 30, 2015. Rio de Janeiro continues to face criticism locally and abroad that the bodies of water it plans to use for competition in the 2016 Olympic Games are too polluted to host events. Untreated sewage and trash frequently find their way into the Atlantic waters of Copacabana Beach and Guanabara Bay – both future sites to events such as marathon swimming, sailing and triathlon events. Olympic sailors are not worried about getting sick during the Rio Olympics next year in spite of reports that waters where the sailing events will take place have pollution levels equivalent to raw sewage, competitors told Reuters on Thursday.
