Queensland’s Fitzroy River has been selected to host rowing at the 2032 Olympic Games, despite concerns about the suitability of the course and the wildlife living in the river.
The river is believed to contain about 500 crocodiles, making it an unusual setting for an Olympic rowing venue. The presence of the animals has drawn attention, although it is not described as the main concern surrounding the proposed course.
The selection has raised wider questions about the river’s suitability for staging Olympic rowing. However, the available information does not specify the principal issue affecting the course or outline how organisers intend to address the concerns.
The Fitzroy River remains the selected venue for the rowing competition at the 2032 Games. Further details about the course and the arrangements for holding events there have not been provided.
