Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said she was not surprised by the decision to recognize the Fitzroy River in Australia as suitable for rowing competitions at the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The river, located about 600km north of Brisbane, is known for its crocodiles and strong tides. The proposal of the waterway as a venue for the Olympic Games has caused mixed reactions.
— Firstly, after the Paris Seine, reptiles won’t intimidate athletes. And secondly, we are waiting for animal rights activists. We remember from Sochi how they carefully monitored the flora and fauna of the Olympic region. The fate of crocodiles should not leave them indifferent,” Zakharova wrote on her Telegram channel.
