Unfortunately, Chicago lost the Olympic bid. Losing it first followed by Tokyo, then Madrid. It leaves Rio de Janiero as the new host city for the 2016 Summer Games. Although, it would have been neat to the have the games so close to home I think it ended up in a better location. As stated in this article, "A great choice, even if others were worthy." South America hosting the olympic games makes the definition of the olympics more real. The games are being played all around now. This decision represents a wise one, even though the others had sound plans.
