What...the...

Please tell me I won't have to endure 2 weeks of constantly seeing that piece of shit. Please

Who the hell thought that would be a good idea??

It will be nice to have an Olympic Games in my city. A lot of investment will be made in terms of transportation, new lodging, and new venues. As such, it will be a hell to live here for the next years as a lot of construction will be held around the city -- not close to where I live but definitely close to my work. Anyway, it will be all ready by the time the Games are to be held, so visitors will not be bothered. Crime rate is high in Rio but its distribution is uneven over the city, and touristic locations are much safer than the slums, which would be foolish to visit.

Chicago earlier elimination was a surprise. I know the city and I think it would be a great host to the games. Anyway, Rio won as the Olympic Games needed to be legitimated as a World event and thus they needed to go to different areas to the planet. Expect a following Winter Games in South America -- perhaps in Chile or Argentina -- and a Summer Games in Africa.

There was a proposal for the Winter games be held in Mendoza-Santiago, now I think it's Santiago alone. Still, it's not like anyone gives a damn about the Winter Olympics, so it wouldn't be important at all. Still, them picking Rio means it's possible Buenos Aires gets them sometime in the future, maybe 2036 or so

Lots of people care about the Winter Olympics, they're called Canadians!

The winter olympics are far easier to get though because there are far fewer cities that can host the winter olympics, and there are far fewer countries interested in hosting the winter olympics, so there are usually only a handful of reasonable bids to sort through; and most of those come from the same handful of countries.

Lol, the point is no one here ever watches them, sky and snowboard are pretty popular but in the higher class, the centers here are very good, but its nothing like having the summer olimpics.
