As a citizen of Rio im very happy and proud to host the first Olympic games at South America.
Those of us who followed the process of the Pan American games know that when our politicians have foreign oversight, a clear goal, they are able to achieve great things.
Violence was not a problem, because not only there were more police on the street, couple with military support, they were actually doing their job for a change.
We have the stadiums, what we need is subways, trains, and traffic infrastructure and now we have government incentive to give us all we needed all along, but couldnt find a good enough reason to get it.
Im celebrating! Come to rio for 2014 (World Cup) and 2016, we will be happy to host you.

I thought it was pretty much a lock for Chicago. Glad it's gone to Rio though. Congrats.

Awesome! I dont think they'd want to host it in my home town for like 20k people, so you were the next best choice!
2016 gogo!

seems natural to have this in sports and games

The convention thing where it all went down is less than 1km away from my school, the principal wrote a letter to the american embassy asking for Obama to give an interview at the school but i dont think it happened. Regardless~~ Congratulations Brazil!

I wish it was Chicago cause i live only a few hours away but I'm still very happy that Rio won it. They deserve it the most and it looks like it's gonna be beautiful there. congrats!

Cool, it seemed ridiculous that South America had managed to avoid having the games up to this point. Hopefully Rio puts on a good show...they have a lot of preparation ahead of them (good luck :|)
