The city of Chicago spent tens of millions of dollars over two years in an effort to bring the 2016 Summer Olympic Games to the Midwest United States. Those efforts ended on October 2nd when the International Olympic Committee (IOC) voted in favor of Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. As VOA's Kane Farabaugh reports, the loss is a stunning defeat for the adopted hometown of President Barack Obama.

  • thats because nobody on the IOC wants them back in the USA, they have hosted the olympics more than enough times!

  • Get over it. Fail!

  • The ONLY reason this Olympic CRAP started was Mayor Daley needed a DISTRACTION and reason to leave town during the CASH FOR HIRE TRUCKING SCANDAL.
