It's a fair and spirited choice by the members of Olympic committee to chose Rio over the other cities for 2010 Olympics. It justifies the growing importance of emerging economies in other parts of the globe, especially BRIC Countries.
Russia was a superpower once - hosted olympics, China is almost a super power now - hosted olympics recently - probably the best ever, Brazil is going to host them in 2016 and what does India got - to show to the world?
A big nothing - still struggling to get ready for commonwealth games!
Unless, India's infrastructure grows by atleast 5 fold , - it shouldn't even think about hosting any major event - except probably cricket world cup.
Even south africa has got the 2010 FIFA world cup...hmm!
