Members KYTOP Posted October 2, 2009 Members Posted October 2, 2009 Rio gets to host the 2016 Olympics. It is about time the Olympics came to South America and Rio is a great city with beautiful people. But I think Rio will have to crack down on their crime problems in the next few years to be fully successful. It will be interesting to see the changes this will bring to Rio. It was such a shock to me that Chicago came in last in the selection. I love Chicago and think it would have been a great choice. Quote

My understanding is the Olympic site selection process makes the proceedings of the Illinois state legislature look honest & transparent. Quote
