OK, so I’m admittedly a little over this year’s Olympics but there’s definitely a lot to look forward to in 2016. As the closing ceremonies ended, the torch was passed onto Rio de Janiero, the upcoming host of the next Summer games. 2016 will mark the first time that a South American country has hosted the Olympics and it’s fair to say that the city (and country) will pull out all the stops.

If the Brazilian’s record-breaking showing at the 2012 Olympic Games wasn’t enough to convince you that Rio might be a great place for the 2016 Summer Olympics, perhaps you should know that (due to Brazil’s location in the southern hemisphere) the games will actually be hosted during the winter. Hmm… tightly bundled American women or bikini-rocking Brazilians. The choice seems obvious to me.
