Rio de Janeiro wins 2016 games bid

Rio de Janeiro have won the bid to host the Olympic games in 2016

Very very very deserving city. Rio needed it for Brazil's economy, which is going to be one of the biggest in 20 years. It's also the first time a South American country will host the Olympics.

TBH im glad Rio are hosting the 2016 Olympic games because, its a great city but also because, they have no chance in beating London 2012. They are not even building a new stadium and are just using one that will be 70 years old by the time of the games.
