Chicago, Rio, and Vienna...
Last week the 2016 host city for the Olympics were decided. I was sure, 100% sure, that Chicago wouldbe selected. There was no doubt in my mind...But boy was I wrong. Chicago was knocked out, eliminated, in the first round. Horrible. And pathetic. And disappointing. And after that, Tokyo bounced. This was not surprising to me, as I had not expected Tokyo to be selected anyway. And then it came down to Rio and Madrid....and the winner is...Rio! The Olympics will be great for that city, and boy is it gonna be a party!!! Congrats to Rio!

not surprised at all that Chicago got bounced in the first round. the Olympics have never been held in South America so it was a good shot that Rio would be selected. unfortunatley, with all that is happening in the world, America is not everyone's top choiice these days.
