Well, that didn't go quite as expected

I don't tend to follow Olympic coverage much as I am not a particularly big fan of the event, but I did get sucked into a recent story in the Globe and Mail about the process for determining the location for the 2016 summer games. According to the article, and image below, Chicago seemed to be the leading contender.

Imagine my surprise when I learned this morning that not only did Chicago not get the games, but that they were the first to be eliminated. It seems that Rio was the winning bid.
