Rio de Janeiro host of the 2016 Olympics
Nearly 50,000 people cheered in celebration when Rio de Janeiro was announced as host of the 2016 Olympics, jumping and shouting in a Carnival-like party on Copacabana beach.
A huge roar was heard at the famed beach the moment International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge said the words "Rio de Janeiro" to announce the winner in Copenhagen on Friday.
So after 2016, Africa will be the only continent that has never hosted the Games. Maybe South Africa in 2020?
