The International Olympic Committee announced that Rio de Janeiro would host the 2016 Olympics. Rio beat out Chicago, Tokyo and Madrid as the host city.
Chicagoans were shocked that they had lost out on the bid, especially after President Barack Obama made an appearance at the last minute to push his home city as a great Olympic site. But it was too little too late. One former IOC member even stated that Obama’s short appearance showed a lack of respect to the IOC and that it was “too business-like.” Another IOC member, on the other hand, intimated that a bloc vote by Asian countries for Tokyo could have led to the demise of Chicago, who was eliminated in the 1st round of voting.
In any event, you can’t really argue with Rio – it is the 1st time in the history of the Olympics that a city in South America will host the Olympics. After years of seeing the Olympic athletes in Europe, Asia and North America, South America will finally get to shine as Rio hosts the 2016 Olympics…
