The 2032 Olympic Rowing Venue Might Be Crocodile Infested

OutKick: We’re seven years away from the 2032 Summer Olympics in Brisbane, Australia. Hell, there’s a whole other Summer Olympics that needs to happen — the 2028 Summer Games in Los Angeles — before most people even turn their attention to it.

But, as was the case with just about every iteration of the Olympics before it, it’s never too soon to start castrophiszing about ways for the event to go wrong.

Like, I think we talked about all of the poo in the Seine from the moment they announced plans to hold some open-water swimming events in it. more here

  1. FINALLY!!!

    An actually interesting Olympic event with REAL stakes!

    …hey, if you poke holes in the boats and make them drag chum, I may even watch!

    …just this one event, though, and only to see which crock gets the most medals, or “Meat-als” as the case may be…

    California is over extended to, I can’t count that high. I know there’s a lot of dedicated Fed money going into this. But Cali has some major infrastructure and housing to deal with. Who’s paying for that. The athletes maybe sleeping in pup tents on the beach. Maybe they’ll just do the usual and double the gas tax. This construction should be underway right now. Kinda makes you wonder if it will actually happen.

  3. Placement partially graded on what you bring to the finish line.

    If you can make a pair of crocodile boots on the way, you’re in the lead.

    Still being debated: Whether you finish with less appendages is a plus or minus in the scoring. There are arguments on each side that make good points.

    One is endurance, despite bleeding out vs no injuries scoring for perfect execution.

  4. @Bad_Brad: the 2028 committee is taking the Peter Uberoff route – they are going to use a lot of existing infrastructure. SoFi, Staples, Honda Center, USC, UCLA, Pepperdine, Cal State Fullerton, Cal State Northridge, maybe the Coliseum and/or the Rose Bowl, maybe a couple of venues in San Diego – all will be in play. For the 1984 Olympics, the committee actually used a temporary swimming pool venue, and they may do this again in addition to perhaps the Belmont facility. Lots of arenas and stadiums around SoCal.

  6. The First Mate comes down to the galley to address the rowers and sez:
    “Well boys, I got some good news and some bad news”
    “The good news is that everybody gets a bottle of rum!”
    Everybody cheers!
    “The bad news is that the captain wants to go water skiing”
