Probele de canotaj și kaiac-canoe de la JO 2032 se vor desfășura pe un fluviu unde trăiesc crocodili

The 2032 Olympic rowing and canoeing events will take place on the Fitzroy River in Australia, home to saltwater crocodiles. Concerns have been raised about safety and competition conditions due to the presence of these reptiles and the river's potential for flooding and strong currents. Despite a petition for relocation, an independent assessment deemed the site suitable, and international federations have approved the decision. Organizers assure that safety measures will be implemented for crocodile sightings, and the river is expected to provide fair competition conditions.
