Holding the 2032 Olympics in the Fitzroy River in Australia has raised concerns about the protection of the 500 crocodiles that live in that river.

The Fitzroy River is to be the venue for the rowing events of the 2032 Brisbane Olympics.

This river is now a place for training and competition, and reliable environmental assessments have been made there.

While concerns have been raised about the protection of crocodiles and the possibility of their ground attack on humans, Queensland's local government says there has been no ground attack in "the last forty years of record".

These reptiles, which reach up to four meters in size, can be seen in the salty waters of this river.

On the other hand, Tom Salisbury, the CEO of the British Rowing Federation, expressed concern about the "suitability" of the place for the race. Referring to the natural twists and tides of this river, he raised the issue of "fairness of the sport".
