Olympic fever! Samba in Rio de Janeiro!

Its Rio de Janiero!

After the long and gruel wait, millions spent in advertising and promotions, also the tears shed, and with the help of their people and leaders, one emerged victorious in the bout for hosting the 2016 summer Olympic games. The one chosen was RIO DE JANEIRO! Yes, it was the beach city of South America which will actually make history as the 1st city in the continent to host the games. It was really a unpredictable decision since that it rivals the very prepared and impressive showmanship of the city of Madrid. Madrid was a tough contender since it boast of the venues which are 70% and above completed. A shocker to others was the elimination of the city of Chicago of the USA, which was supported by president Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle. Oprah Winfrey was also there to show her support however it was short-lived when it was announced to be eliminated in the 1st round. It was swift yet cold-blooded defeat for the Americans. Then another fast swipe for the chance was Tokyo, which promised the green Olympics, yet some experts say it lacks enthusiasm from the public. Then there was two, Madrid and Rio.

Both cities has been aiming for this spot for four times now, yet they still persistent and patient for this day. For Madrid, the King Carlos and also the Prime Minister Zapatero was there for the Spanish bid. And for Rio de Janeiro, the President Luiz da Silva and football legend Pelé, showed their confidence for the Portuguese-speaking Latin Nation. People on both Madrid and Rio waited patiently on the streets (for Rio's case its on the beach). The world is excited until the announcement was made by Jacques Rogge...

and with that, the rest is history...

not a candidate city anymore, because its official...
This actually made me hope that Manila may also have a chance to host the games, since Rio has the same poverty-stricken situation as the Philippines, who knows, for now like Rio de Janiero, we must believe first...
