Final bids were down to Chicago, Madrid, Rio de Janeiro, and Tokyo. Chicago has just been the first city to be eliminated, with the lowest amount of votes. I was very surprised here, as Obama and his wife had just traveled to Copenhagen to push for Chicago. Tokyo was the second city eliminated.
Chicago and Rio were the two front-runners. I'm imagining a Rio win, seeing as there have never been an Olympic games in South America (summer or winter.) And Chicago losing means Minneapolis has a realistic shot for the 2020 games!
