Welcome to the 2016 Summer Olympics

This is the victorious and historical Lula’s speech by Rio de Janeiro’s candidature (in Brazilian Portuguese) and the bid video for Olympic Games in 2016 (in English), beating Madrid, Tokyo and Chicago. Copenhagen, Denmark, 10/2/2009

Gunmen in Rio de Janeiro start a gun fight in one of the city’s richest neighborhoods when they meet police patrols. Footage captured on a cell phone shows suspects in bullet-proof vests hiding behind a garbage truck. A woman bystander was killed and two police officers were hurt in the exchange of gunfire. After the shootout in Rio’s Sao Conrado neighborhood, they ran into the Intercontinental Hotel. Police swept the entire hotel and arrested ten gunmen, heavily armed with automatic weapons and grenades. A spokesman for Rio’s military police says 35 hostages were freed unharmed. [Colonel Henrique Saraiva, Military Police Spokesman]: “We have arrested ten drug traffickers, seized eight machine guns, five pistols with a lot of ammunition, a grenade. There were 35 hostages and we are checking to see if any drug traffickers have infiltrated them. It is very unlikely, but it could have happened. The hostages include 5 guests and 30 hotel workers.” Violent crime is a major problem in Rio, where heavily armed drug gangs control its many slums. Rio is Brazil’s biggest tourist destination and will host the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympic games.

Rio de Janeiro Brasil sede das Olimpíadas de 2016 – Tema Oficial dos Jogos Olímpicos do Rio de Janeiro 2016 The host city for an Olympic Games is usually chosen seven years ahead of their celebration.[143] The process of selection is currently carried out in two phases that span over a two-year period. The prospective host city first applies to its country’s Olympic Committee; if more than one city from the same country submits a proposal to its NOC, the national committee typically holds an internal selection, since only one city per NOC can be presented to the International Olympic Committee for consideration. Once the deadline for submission of proposals by the NOCs is reached, the first phase (Application) begins with the applicant cities asked to complete a questionnaire regarding several key criteria related to the organization of the Olympic Games.[144] In this form, the applicants must give assurances that they will comply with the Olympic Charter and with any other regulations established by the IOC Executive Committee.[143] The evaluation of the filled questionnaires by a specialized group provides the IOC with an overview of each applicant’s project and their potential to host the Games. Based on this technical evaluation, the IOC Excutive Board selects the applicants that will proceed to the candidature stage.[144] Once the candidate cities are selected, they must submit to the IOC a bigger and more detailed presentation of their project as part of a …

Following Rio’s selection to host the 2016 Olympics, decades of housing rights were immediately at stake for Rio’s favela communities. More than ever, squatter communities in Rio de Janeiro are threatened with eviction by the authorities for the development of infrastructure for the Olympic Games of 2016, or for reinstatement of land ownership, boosted by the increasing value of Rio de Janeiro’s real estate, or because the government claims the areas are a risk for landslides. This is an introduction to two of Rio’s communities whose residents face the prospect of their eviction in relation to the 2016 Olympic Games. They are Vila Autódromo and Asa Branca, two small and neighboring communities in the West Zone of the city.

I endorse Rio de Janeiro for the Host of the 2016 Summer Games. I think it’s not fair that the entire continent of South America has gone on so long without a chance to host the Summer Olympics.
