The Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro was chosen today as host of the 2016 Summer Olympics. Other cities considered were Tokyo, Japan; Chicago, U.S.A.; and Madrid, Spain.
Rio de Janeiro’s selection marks the first time a South American city will host the Olympics. The 2012 Summer Olympics will be held in London, England.
