It was great, saw it live.

Chicago put together a great package and an excellent presentation.
This is the first Olympics to held on the continent of South America. Rio has a lot of work to do.

i think chicago may have actually been hurt a little bit by obama going, offended some voters by basically trying to bully his way into a bid.
i though madrid would hav gotten it since most of the voters are european and tend to keep the money in the EU.

Did anyone see Rio's acceptance speech? Kanye jumped on stage and said "Hey, hey Rio, I’m really happy for you, I’mma let you finish, but I just want to say Chicago had one of the best bids of all time. OF ALL TIME."
He hasn't been seen since.
