Tokyo loses Olympics bid to Rio
Monday, October 5th, 2009
I missed the news over the weekend but it seems Tokyo has lost out to Brazil’s Rio De Janeiro in it’s bid to host the 2016 Summer Olympics.
It’s a shame as Tokyo, who last hosted the Olympics in 1964, would have done a great job (okay I’m biased) but after hearing that Rio is the first ever South American city to hold the Olympic Games it is probably a fair call. The other cities in the finals race were Chicago and Madrid.

Not sure it’s the most exciting video I’ve ever seen. What did you think about it?
Here the Rio De Janeiro video for a comparison:
