Rio de Janeiro wins the 2016 Olympic bid
 It’s was an early exit for Chicago in the voting for the 2016 Olympic bid, but a huge boost for Rio de Janeiro as they will host the 2016 Olympic games. In our special coverage of the 2016 Olympic decision, we talk with disappointed Chicagoans, Chicagoans not unhappy we lost and down in South America we hear from thrilled Brazilians and some Rio residents who are concerned about what the Olympics will mean for their city.
