Olympics 2016

Well, as you all know already, Madrid will not see his dream of holding a Summer Olympics in 2016. The winner of the voting at the IOC headquarters was Rio de Janeiro by an overwhelming majority.

66 votes got Rio de Janeiro, destroying Madrid, which received only 32 in the final round of the vote in Denmark. Before the road had been in Chicago (the IOC did not like the laziness of Barack Obama, the new Nobel Peace Prize) and Tokyo. In fact, almost all the votes that went to Chicago and Tokyo earlier rounds landed in Rio de Janeiro in the following, so that Madrid never had real choices to hold the Games.

After the initial rebuke, Madrid's bid voices rose in crtiicaban the world body, saying it knew beforehand that Madrid would not be host city because of the non-existent rule of rotation of continents, although it is written that does not mean that no scrupulous compliance for over 50 years. According to the organizers of Madrid 2016, were spurred to be submitted by those who knew it was going to be chosen, although everyone knew that the fact that previous Olympics were in London would be a blow for Madrid glory.

It is somewhat curious that Rio de Janeiro take the cat into the water when two months ago was the worst prepared to organize the event. But they took the pan with the handle when they remembered that South America has never hosted an Olympic Games. Given this historical discrimination, members of the IOC decided to fix the unfairness of a stroke by giving the Games to a country that held two years before the World Cup of soccer.
