Rio 2016: Yes, we can!

For the first time ever a South American city was chosen in Copenhagen, Denmark, to host the 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

In the next few years, Brazil’s image abroad could benefit if the country organizes the Olympics well (and the World Cup in 2014). The first challenge is to tackle violence, to invest in social projects, and to step up security in Rio.
