Live from Chicago - 2016 Olympics Announcement Chicago Eliminated In First Round

Chicago and Tokyo were eliminated from the race to host the 2016 Summer Games, striking a blow to President Barack Obama, who supported the U.S. bid.

International Olympic Committee members are now voting to pick between Madrid and Rio de Janeiro, IOC President Jacques Rogge said in Copenhagen. The winner needs a majority from the 106 IOC members. Members with ties to a bid still in the running cant vote.

Chicago brought in U.S. President Barack Obama to support its bid, while Brazil President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva flew in to stress Rios main selling point: South America never has held the Games, which began in 1896. Juan Antonio Samaranch, the 89-year-old former IOC president, appealed to members to give the Games to Spain. Samaranch led the committee from 1980 to 2001.

"The US has had 4 olympics in the last 30 years, More than anyone"

No need to feel too good. LA game was considered an incomplete game since excellent Russians and many others were absent. Atlantic game had a lot of problems and was the only game that was not praised by IOC after it ended. We all know Salt Lake city's scandal. They bribed to win the game.
