A video presentation of the proposed plans for Olympic villages and event venues in Rio for the 2016 Games. It was interesting to see what they had designed in this video given that it on more than one occasion appears true-to-life. It would have been nice to have Chicago and America host the games, but it is significant that another of those 5 Olympic rings is being represented by the opening up of a new continent to participation as Games host country/continent.
