Chicago's bid did not make it. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, got the winning bid. Obviously, Spain, Tokyo and Chicago fought a good fight. They sent in their best representative.
As reported by those on the scene.
A huge roar was heard at the famed beach the moment IOC President Jacques Rogge said the words "Rio de Janeiro" to announce the winner.
"I'm very happy because this will help sports and give a boost to kids of all ages and social classes," said Copacabana travel agent Ana Lucia Perez da Costa.
The Cariocas, as Rio citizens are known, raised their arms to celebrate on Copacabana, frantically waving flags and hugging each other.

Paying Tribute to Jennifer Hudson's Slain Mother, Darnell Hudson, Brother and Julian King's Memorial
Actress Jennifer Hudson's mother, Darnell Donerson, and brother, Jason Hudson, were found slain in Donerson's home in the 7000 block of South Yale Avenue on Chicago's South Side, said Lisa Kasteler, Jennifer Hudson's publicist. Police say a boy, Julian King, 7, is missing from the home, but have not said whether the boy was related to Hudson.
Lynnette and John Louden talk to reporters about how their chihuahua, "Lil' Man" led them to the SUV parked in their Chicago neighborhood this morning. A child's body was found in the vehicle in the 1300 block of South Kolin Avenue around 8 a.m. It is the same vehicle police were looking for in their search for 7-year-old Julian King, the missing nephew of Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Hudson.
