I've said all along it will be either Chicago or Rio with my biased guess being Chicago... Chicago already has a lot of infrastructure set up and plans on using many existing facilities... something the IOC likes, especially after Beijing's spending spree.

Brazil is hosting the World Cup in 2014. There will be plenty of infrastructure already in Rio. It is more of a question if they can handle the two biggest sporting events in the world in a span of 2 years.

I'm not at all surprised. If the sense was that we were the frontrunners I don't think the Obamas would have needed to go...my guess is we knew we probably were not going to get it.
