Does anyone care about where it's going to be held? If rumours are to be believed, it's between Rio and Chicago, with Madrid and Tokyo also competing. The final decision is to be announced next Friday (Oct 2nd).
As a Brazilian, and considering only the sports fan part of me, I'd love it if the Olympics were held in Rio, but I don't think we should be bidding for it, much like I prefer to get the house clean before inviting people over. If the Pan Am games held in Rio are any indication of what is to be expected, then we won't have security problems, but then again, we'll spend LOADS of money on stuff that no one will use after the games are over.
