Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games organisers will explore contingencies should the governing bodies for rowing and canoe events decide the planned Fitzroy River course in Rockhampton is unsuitable for competition.
The revelation from Brisbane 2032 president Andrew Liveris came as he prepared to host the first meeting of the new, paired-back organising committee board in the city’s CBD on Thursday.
“It’s amazing how, a year ago, we were arguing about stadiums and what would happen with the stadium, and now we seem to be arguing and having this conversation on rowing – we’re always going to have something,” he told this masthead.
“I’d like to remind everyone that LA was still debating venues until about six months ago. Paris was debating them until a year before, so it’s the nature of the beast that the OCOG [Organising Committee for the Olympic Games] will have to very much be nimble on creating alternatives in case some of these venues don’t work out.”
