What a venue pin can tell you about the 2032 sports programme

The authorities deciding where to build a venue and the bodies deciding which sports will compete work to different timetables.

The Paralympic programme has its own decision process. The IPC expects its decision during 2027. Readers following a Para sport can use the published venue proposals today and check the IPC decision when it is issued. IPC programme decision ↗

Rockhampton shows how a venue can advance before those decisions. World Rowing and Paddle Worldwide endorsed the proposed Fitzroy River course after technical assessment. That endorsement concerns the course selected for planning. GIICA course assessment ↗
