What I’ve figured all along .. this will be the first Olympiad in South America.
Rio has serious problems I hope they can get under control, but ultimately the choice was fairly inevitable.

They got it right.
What better place for corruption and mayhem than South America?
It's their turn to be burdened with the Olympics.

"In my opinion, excellent choice" I agree. I've been there several times, and while there's some abject poverty and crime-ridden areas, it's also a very FUN city. Plus, the weather in August is perfect for the olympics - very temperate and almost zero rain.

No doubt. I love the Olympics, but the U.S. has hosted them enough for a good, long while.
