2016 Olympics In Brazil
Bummer for Chicago and Madrid, but I'm pleased Rio de Janeiro was chosen for the 2016 Olympics. What an interesting location - lot more so than Chicago.
Has there been an Olympics in South America before?

I saw all that live news coverage of Chicago getting the big news- it as sorta pathetic watching all those people sulk on TV 'ahhh'...
You think after all this time with the Cubs, Chicago would be used to loosing.

Madrid would have been a great choice too. I like that city a lot. I once spent two days looking for slot car tracks and slot car stores in Madrid. Very interesting.

I suspect Madrid didn't get it because Barcelona had it not that long ago.
