Why Rio de Janerio should have the Olympics???

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

City Population: 6,100,369

Brief History: No city in South America has ever hosted the Olympics. Rio bid for the 1936, 2004, and the 2012 Olympics. Each time they were beat out.
Opinion: Hmmm...a South American Olympics sounds fun. I'd definitely be interested if Rio gets to host it. However, you gotta think of the massive population there. Unlike Tokyo, Rio's population is very concentrated.
According to the Rio de Janeiro 2016 bid committee, the bid's concept is based on four principles—technical excellence, experience of a lifetime, transformation, and supporting the Olympic and Paralympic Movements.Rio de Janeiro has full political backing and a strong popular support.The three levels of Brazilian government have guaranteed the free provision of a range of services to the bid, including security, medical services, customs, transport, immigration, and other governmental services and support.Rio de Janeiro has already approved funding of US$240 billion from the Program for Growth Acceleration .The host city of the Games will be announced at the 121st IOC Session (which will also be the 13th Olympic Congress) to be held in Copenhagen, Denmark, on 2 October 2009. The 2016 Summer Paralympics will be held in the same city and organized by the same committee.
