Crocodile-inhabited Australian river approved for 2032 Olympic rowing

Course Approval

Roughly 500 saltwater crocodiles inhabit the Fitzroy River in Rockhampton, Queensland, which has just received official approval to host rowing and canoeing events for the 2032 Brisbane Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Technical Review

An independent technical assessment cleared the venue based on its performance under various weather patterns, water levels, and flood risks.

Assessment Limits

The evaluation reviewed conditions for both the Games period and the years leading up to it, but it did not factor in the local crocodile population during its checks.
