The third element of the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games emblems has been unveiled in Rockhampton, with the full design scheduled to be revealed Monday after events on the Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast. The design remains subject to speculation, while Rockhampton's proposed rowing and canoe sprint venue has also drawn local controversy.
A third part of the Brisbane 2032 Games emblems has been revealed, and sleuths trying to piece together the entire design before its full reveal will be thankful: it’s not another squiggle that could be a flame, leaf, feather or sun ray.
The third element of the emblems for both the Olympic and Paralympic Games was revealed by retired track cyclist and Paris Chef de Mission Anna Meares and Paralympian wheelchair sprints athlete Angie Ballard on Thursday in Rockhampton’s Riverside Park.

The multi-day rollout of emblem pieces is stretching down the Queensland coast, landing on the Sunshine Coast on Friday followed the Gold Coast and Brisbane. The final design will be revealed on Monday morning.
“I’ve been watching the last couple of days, and my initial thoughts was maybe it’s a local flower or a sun, and then after today I’m like, maybe it could be an artistic version of the bearded dragon,” she said. “I feel like we were heading in a direction the last two days, and today has definitely thrown that off course,” she said. “I was thinking a little botanical, maybe a bird of paradise.
Now I’m like, is this something to do with the sun and the sun rays? I don’t know. ” Rockhampton has been a controversial choice to host rowing and canoe sprints events on its Fitzroy River Barrage, a concrete structure that separates the downstream tidal saltwater section from the upstream freshwater section. Locals say Aurizon Stadium, which offers sweeping views of Rockhampton and its surrounding mountains from its new stand, would be able to host any rectangular sport.
Of the sports confirmed for LA 2028, that could include soccer, flag football, lacrosse or rugby sevens.
