You know whats funny? People seemed surprised Chicago's citizens seem split on wanting the Olympics here. I'm sure the IOC took that into account. Rio's citizens had a higher percentage of people who wanted the Olympics and I think it went to the right people! I have never been to the Olympics. Now ...
Jump to postThe people just got something special! I congratulate Rio and all of Brazil. The world will focus on them in 2016.
To think this came down to Rio and Madrid when just about, well a lot of people thought it would come down to Chicago and Rio.
Congrats!
I was just listening to WBBM 780 here in Chicago. One of the reporters who is in Copenhagen said for some odd reason, without Michelle and Barack Chicago's final presentation would have just been dry. He said even mayor Daley had seemed to have lost his passion during his speech. After hearing that ...
Jump to postWith all of the hype of it coming down to Chicago and Rio I'm just shocked Chicago was voted out first. WOW to say the least lol. I'm a Chicagoan but I wanted Rio to win and it looks like they are. But the order of elimination is wierd lol
