A crocodile river gets the Olympic rowing nod

A river home to about 500 saltwater crocodiles has been approved to host Olympic and Paralympic rowing and canoeing events at the 2032 Brisbane Games. The excerpt confirms the venue choice and the crocodile count, but says nothing about safety measures, water testing, or how organizers will manage the risk. The striking detail is not merely that the animals are present, but that a major sporting venue can share a river with them.
