2016 Rio De Janeiro Olympics - Was it a Good Choice?nBy [http://EzineArticles.com/expert/Simon_Lowenstein/320926]Simon Lowenstein nnThe 2016 Summer Olympics have been awarded to Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, over Chicago in the United States, Tokyo in Japan, and Madrid in Spain. Many viewed Rio as the favorite to become the host of the 2016 Olympic Games, since the Olympics have never been held in South America; Rio is also a cosmopolitan city host to many cultural events such as the Brazilian Carnival, or "Carnaval", a yearly celebration of culture where people wear costumes and have a massive block party. It also helps that Brazil is emerging as a world power, economically and politically, which certainly helped Rio's cause in the race to be the host city of the 2016 Summer Olympics. But was Rio De Janeiro a good choice? There are reasons why it was, and a few good reasons why it probably will be risky. But all in all, since South America has never played host to the Olympics, it probably was time for them to join the party.nnWith an ethnically diverse population of over 6 million inhabitants, Rio de Janeiro is Brazil's second largest city, only to Sao Paulo. Despite it being the second largest city, Rio is actually considered to be Brazil's cultural capital, since it is home to a multitude of museums such as the Quinta da Boa Vista, and libraries, and its buildings are heavily influenced by Portuguese, English, and French architecture. Rio is also home to the Brazilian Carnival, or "Carnaval", an annual showcase of costumes and Brazilian music and dance that draws millions of visitors worldwide. In addition, the city is rich in athletic tradition, home to numerous football (soccer) teams, including Flamengo, one of the best-supported football (soccer) clubs in the world, according to FIFA. nnnVent Online About a Variety of TopicsnnArticle Source: [http://EzineArticles.com/?2016-Rio-De-Janeiro-Olympics---Was-it-a-Good-Choice?&id=3026166] 2016 Rio De Janeiro Olympics - Was it a Good Choice?nnolympics 2016 start,olympics 2016 opening ceremonyndateolympics 2016 schedule,olympics 2018,winter olympics,winter olympics 2016,olympics 2016 tickets,next olympics 2016 which country,olympics history,olympics 2016 tickets,winter olympics 2016,olympics 2016 rio,olympics 2016 basketball,olympics 2016 schedule,olympics 2016 football,olympic 2016 trials,,olympic 2016 rio de janeiro,,olympic 2016 track,,olympic 2016 cycling,olympic 2016 channel,olympic 2016 countdown,,olympic 2016 diving,,olympic 2016 diving trials,nolympic 2016 discus,,olympic 2016 date,,olympic 2016 equestrian,nolympic 2016 football,,olympic 2016 fails,,olympic 2016 floor,olympic 2016 final,olympic 2016 facts,olympic 2016 gymnastics team,olympic 2016 gymnastics trials,nolympic 2016 gymnastics announcement,olympic 2016 games,nolympic 2016 gymnastics usa,olympic 2016 gameplay,nolympic 2016 gymnastics men,olympic 2016 gilas,nolympic 2016 gilas vs france,olympic 2016 highlights,olympic 2016 hurdles,olympic 2016 high jump,nolympic 2016 hd,olympic 2016 intro,nolympic 2016 india,olympic 2016 judo,nolympic 2016 jaguar,olympic 2016 japan,olympic 2016 live,nolympic 2016 long jump,olympic 2016 music,olympic 2016 men's gymnastics,olympic 2016 motivation,olympic 2016 men'svolleyball,nolympic 2016 mascot,olympic 2016 malaysia,olympic 2016 news,nolympic 2016 nba,olympic 2016 opening ceremony,nolympic 2016 opening,olympic 2016 official song,nolympic 2016 official theme song,olympic 2016 promo,nolympic 2016 pole vault,olympic 2016 philippines,nolympic 2016 preview,olympic 2016 p&g,olympic 2016 ps4,olympic 2016 preparation,nolympic 2016 qualifiers,olympic 2016 qualification,olympic 2016 rio,olympic 2016 running,olympic 2016 rugby,olympic 2016 relay,nolympic 2016 rio de janeiro song,nolympic 2016 swimming trials,nolympic 2016 soccer,nolympic 2016 usa,nolympic 2016 video,nolympic 2016 video game,nolympic 2016 venue,nolympic 2016 weightlifting,nolympic 2016 wrestling,nolympic 2016 women's gymnastics,nolympic 2016 women's swimming,nolympic 2016 women's volleyball,nolympic 2016 yuna,100m, 200m, running, track and field, rio 2016, Olympics, Final, Usain Bolt, Justin Gatlin, Epic, History, of all time, sprints, HD, 2016, Jamaica, United States, Yohan Blake, Tryvon Bromell, Tyson Gay, Jimmy Vicaut, Asafa Powell, Christophe Lemaitre, Track and Field, News, Events, Trend, bolt, gatlin, beat Less
