Rio won the Olympics – I told you so!

I predicted this back in July 28th 2008 on my previous blog.

“2016 is a tricky year for the IOC.
My guess is the underdog Brazil will be elected given the fact that they have so much forest for industrial use. Of course at the end of the day it all comes down to current WTO negotiations in Geneva between developing countries and first world countries concerning western agriculture benefits and opening borders to international companies in countries like Brazil.

Brazil needs to find a POLITICAL solution to that problem fast since the decision of the Olympics will be made in October 2009. No terrorists there but maybe some “drug dealers” and organised crime could need some extra surveillance.”

How did I come to this conclusion over a year before the vote was made. Back when Brazil wasn’t even in top 3? You can read the whole blog post here. I’m quite sure it got nothing to do with the fact that “Olympic Movement is to contribute to building a peaceful and better world by educating youth through sport practiced without discrimination of any kind -IOC-” and everything to do with politics and money. Now the only question that remains is why did Obama go to lobby Chicago when he most certainly knew they weren’t going to win?! If I was sure of the result so was Obama.
