A river that is home to about 500 saltwater crocodiles has been given the OK to host Olympic and Paralympic rowing and canoeing events at the 2032 Brisbane Games. The course on the Fitzroy River in Rockhampton, Queensland, has passed an independent technical assessment into its suitability. The assessment did not consider the crocodiles but instead looked at "how the course would perform under a range of conditions, weather patterns, water levels and flood risk at both Games time and throughout the period leading into the Games".

Might be most watched Olympic event in history. Tuned in to see a massive saltie full send some poor bloke to his watery grave.
Seriously that’s insanity.

Salties have overturned boats, canoes and kayaks in Australia. Some lady got killed in central Florida last year by an 11 foot gator that overturned a canoe. What do you think a 16 foot saltie could do to a kayak?
