Rio

Today the IOC selected Rio to be the venue for the 2016 Olympic games, which means that with Brazil hosting the 2014 World Cup, South America (or more accurately Brazil) is going to be THE place to go in the next decade.

Some thoughts:-

  • Obama has been snubbed!
  • Girl/Boy from Ipanema will be either BBC or ITV's theme tune for one of the events?
  • They're 4 hours behind us so we could be watching sport at midnight quite regularly
  • Let's hope that the inward investment brings lasting change for the country and it's poor.
  • "Samba" will be the most over used word for a while each summer.

I'm also betting on Duran Duran having another reunion and everyone finally finding out about Mike Nesmith's GLORIOUS little song "Rio"
