Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva cries at the contract signing ceremony after Rio De Janeiro won the vote to stage the 2016 Olympic Games at the Bella Centre on October 2, 2009 in Copenhagen, Denmark. After eliminating Chicago, Tokyo and Madrid, International Olympic Committee members selected the Brazilian city as site of the 2016 Summer Games. This will be the first time the Olympics will be held in South America.
