That was due to a storm at high tides.

The by far larger problem is:

"Levels of contamination in the outdoor watersports venues also remain an
issue, with Monday's report commissioned by the Associated Press revealing
that water in those areas has viral levels 1.7 million times higher than would
be considered alarming in Europe and the US."

You wouldn't get me to go in that water - competitor or not.
