COPENHAGEN, Denmark (CNN) -- Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, will host the 2016 Summer Olympic Games, the International Olympic Committee announced Friday.

Confetti flies in Rio de Janeiro after the IOC announces the city will host the 2016 Games.

The announcement brought tears to the eyes of Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who dabbed his eyes with a handkerchief several times in a news conference afterward.
In Rio, ju*****ion erupted at the world-famous Copacabana beach, where thousands of people gathered to hear the announcement.
Rio organizers promised to start working immediately to make the Games a success.
"Maybe some of the people tomorrow can rest," said Rio 2016 President Carlos Nuzman. "I'm not (resting)."
Rio beat out Madrid, Spain, in the final round. Chicago, Illinois, and Tokyo, Japan, were eliminated in earlier rounds.

i was really hoping it would be in the states once again para 7 yrs nlng unta akong paabuton to see the Olympics bt i guess i would never have the chance to witness such great sporting event...kutub nlng gyd cgro ko sa TV ani. well the brighter side is di kau lau ug time difference not like if it's in Tokyo or somewhere unta.

Chicago is 6 hrs drive where i live..last summer games pa lang lipay na kau ko nkabalita na Chicago is betting for the 2016 games after London...sayang sayang gyd

daghana diay ron nangapildi sa betting sa London since gahapon Chicago was the favorite to win.

Good luck Rio! - consider it ur first gold.

This is a breakthrough for South America, a continent that remains very much unexplored by the Olympics. Mexico hosted the games decades before.
