This will be the first time a country in South America will be hosting the Olympics:

The other potential hosts were Chicago (USA), Tokyo, and Madrid. Congrats to Rio for winning!

Same here. It's surely the best place to host the 2016 Olympics, so congratulations to Rio de Janeiro. They (the people in Rio) really deserve it.

Well, that was a waste of time for Obama going to Chicago to promote Chicago 2016 :lol:

A lot of people are upset it didn't come to Chicago. As for me, I don't care. Besides, the US has hosted it four times.

Welp, I'm happy for the people of Rio, but the thing that got me (somewhat) laughing is their reactions when they won:

From calm to... just watch.
I finally had the chance to work on the site, so expect something less blunt in, say, a few months maybe (in time for the domain expiration, for sure!).

I was a bit upset when I heard that it wasn't going to Chicago, but I'm still happy for Rio. If they never had an Olympics in the whole continent before, then they certainly deserve it more than we do.
Hostess Cupcakes are the only way to be happy.

I totally agree. Congratulations to Rio! :) (Although I really hoped and expected that Chicago would win :p)

Yeah, as we had held the Olympics four times already.

Anyway, congrats, Rio de Janerio.

Please, call me Quad. I do not like being called Quadunit or Quadunit404 as both sound stupid.

Thankfully they're holding it now. First time ever, too.

May I also add in that Obama tried to force the IOC to have the Olympics held in Chicago?

The day is coming where Somalia buys this country. By that time I'll be living life in the UK, while everyone else rots, except for us RX Community members*, because we'll all have moved, too.
