Rio de Jeneiro is the official location of the 2016 Summer Olympics. Chicago, Tokyo, and Madrid lost out in the race as the IOC decided in the end to side with Rio. Sucks that Chicago didn't get it since would've been close for the majority of us to try and see the best athletes in the world compete. But, you have to give credit for Rio for winning as the first ever South American city to hold the Olympics. But, for Rio now the real work begins. China spent around $58.5 billion to create what they did for the '08 Olympics. Rio still has time to build and make their city awesome as London is currently working on making their city ready for the 2012 games.
