The result of the selection of the 2016 Olympic site

Tokyo was rejected in the second vote.
I was thinking that it was difficult for Tokyo to be selected, because the 2008 Olympic was held in Beijing where is in Asia as well as Tokyo, and 2012 Olympic will be held in London where is one of the biggest cities in developed countries like Tokyo. However, that's a real bummer!! I really wanted to have an experience that the Olympics takes place in my city.

Chicago was rejected in the first vote. It was a bit surprising.

The final vote has already finished, but the result won't be announced in over an hour. The results of the first and second votes were announced as soon as the votes were finished. It was disappointedly fast. In contrast, regarding the final result, don't you think IOC keeps people waiting too much?

I'm waiting the result, then I will be back here.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now, IOC President Rogge announced Rio de Janeiro won the right to host the 2016 Olympic. Congratulations.
The 2014 World Cup will also take place in Brazil, which is one of BRICs. I think Brazil will more and more develop in the future.

Brazil is in the Southern Hemisphere, so I will see the summer Olympics in winter!?

Yeah I guess it was tough for Tokyo to get it given that China had it last time, and you guys had the World Cup recently too.

I was rooting for Chicago, for obvious reasons. . .

But Rio is pretty awesome. Can check out some sporting events during the day and then hit the beach . . .

Yes, there is little possibility that Tokyo won.
Regarding Chicago, I heard quite many of the Chicago people were against holding the Olympics.

Thank you for your comment!
