Awesome! I am so trying to see if I can make this one. It is my dream to go to an Olympics …

I wonder if Kanye will interrupt Rio’s acceptance speech:

“Hey, hey Rio, I’m really happy for you, I’mma let you finish, but I just want to say Chicago had one of the best bids of all time. OF ALL TIME.”

I was kinda expected it, we’ve never seen the same continent hosting 2 Games in a row, so Madrid was pretty much doomed. Rio looks like the best (and fairest) choice. Good luck, we expect nothing less than a giant feast!
