国际赛艇联合会和国际奥委会周四正式批准了澳大利亚昆士兰州罗克汉普顿的菲茨罗伊河作为2032年布里斯班奥运会的赛艇和激流回旋比赛场地1。该河距布里斯班约600公里1，河内有约500条可长至4米的咸水鳄1。尽管存在鳄鱼，国际赛艇联合会主席让-克里斯托夫·罗兰表示，"基于所进行的广泛分析，我们现在知道菲茨罗伊河能够在奥运会期间提供公平的比赛条件"1。根据过去40多年的政府记录，该河从未发生过鳄鱼伤人事件1。
然而，比赛场地的选择引发了争议，各方关注的焦点不在鳄鱼安全，而是河流的公平性。德国赛艇协会主席莫里茨·彼得里表示担忧包括潜在洪水和"公平性和诚信"问题1。澳大利亚赛艇奥运金牌得主德鲁·吉恩也对潜在洪水和"公平性和诚信"有顾虑1。昆士兰州政府2025年的报告曾建议改用悉尼2000年奥运会场地1。对此，昆士兰州州长大卫·克里萨富利称反对意见来自"不想来地区昆士兰的州际和海外精英"1。
The International Rowing Federation and International Olympic Committee have formally approved the Fitzroy River in Rockhampton, Queensland, as the venue for rowing and canoe sprint events at the 2032 Brisbane Olympics, following a technical assessment completed on Thursday 1. The river, located approximately 600 kilometers from Brisbane, is home to around 500 saltwater crocodiles that can grow up to 4 meters in length 1. However, the governing bodies' primary focus has centered not on crocodile safety but on competitive fairness, with considerations including tidal influences, river bends, and water flow conditions 1. Government records spanning over 40 years have documented no incidents of crocodile attacks in the area 1.
International Rowing Federation President Jean-Christophe Rolandi stated that "based on the extensive analysis conducted, we now know that the Fitzroy River is capable of providing fair racing conditions during the Olympic Games" 1. Despite this approval, significant concerns persist among international competitors and officials. Germany's rowing association president Moritz Petri raised worries about potential flooding and "fairness and integrity" issues 1, concerns echoed by Australian Olympic gold medalist Drew Ginn, who expressed similar reservations about flood risks and competitive equity 1. Queensland Premier David Crisafulli dismissed opposition as stemming from "interstate and overseas elites who do not want to come to regional Queensland" 1. Adding to the operational complexity, school rowing safety management plans reference crocodiles 28 times, with the designated warning signal being to shout "Crocodile, crocodile, crocodile" if one is spotted 1. A 2025 Queensland government report had previously recommended using the Sydney 2000 Olympic venue instead 1.
