Still no architectural projects for the competition venues... The proposal related to the Olympic Park is just about the urban design and legacy.

What If I was in charge of the 10 min Handover Segment: Alessandra Ambrósio enters the stadium carrying the Flag of Brazil: Execution of the Brazilian National Anthem with fireworks at the end (a little camera close at Dilma Rousseff): While the anthem is been executed, an impressive landscape of Rio is build up in the center of the stadium, like a large scale model, and the Copacabana pavement covers the track & field area (thanks Ikarus). After the anthem and the fireworks, the lights go down and this music starts to play: Both singers appear at the top of the Sugarloaf mountain (he playing piano, she laying on it with a glamorous white dress), and the whole stage is lit with yellow and white (the crowd would hold lights creating the atmosphere of the night sky). Like on "Fantasia 2000", wave-shaped screens would fly on the Stadium showing pictures of Rio and Brazil while the song is been played: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AvzOgkOtbo After that, the extravaganza begins with some samba/pop with lots and lots of dancers, which would go something like this: Several dancers flying the stadium by cables. However, instead of Jamie Foxx and Will.i.am singing "Hot Wings", Vanessa da Mata could emerge in the landscape singing this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZfPcYJt6qQ The whole stadium is lit with an amazing color show and fireworks, with the dancers and stuff that I said. Perhaps, several Brazilian celebrities could appear dancing in this huge party. Then, Vanessa da Mata climbs the Corcovado Mountain and open her arms as Christ the Redeemer, there is a great firework finale and everyone appears cheering. THE END.

Love this picture...

Los millones que necesita Chile para ser sede panamericana

I didn't get why they are using the inscription "JOGOS PARALÍMPICOS" (PARALYMPIC GAMES) in both Portuguese and English version.

After I saw this picture, I realized how powerful is this logo. Ádria dos Santos, a blind athlete, crying while touching it.

Everybody talking about Cape Town 2020, but DUBAI WILL BE THE WINNER!!!!!!! DUBAI 2020

What we know is that the 2019 Pan American Games will be held in South America.

Comming Soon: Brasília 2075 and Brasília 2084.

Well... São Paulo 2035 and São Paulo 2044! 2031 for Peru...

2007 Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. 2011 Guadalajara, Mexico. 2015 Toronto, Canada. 2019 Santiago, Chile. 2023 Panama City, Panama. 2027 ?, United States. 2031 São Paulo, Brazil. (After a sucessful 2031 Games, São Paulo will bid for the 2040 Summer Olympics)

Agreed. But I am concerned about Central America. PASO needs to avoid another Santo Domingo fiasco. What Central American city is capable to host Olympic-level Games like Rio de Janeiro and Toronto? I don't know... Maybe Panama City...

The 2006 South American Games were originally awarded to La Paz, Bolivia, but this decision was retracted following domestic instability in Bolivia during 2005. After that, ODESUR awarded the games to Argentina.

2006 South American Games? I think Chile is the second most prosperous economy in South America (after Brazil) in this decade. Chile is stable and it is developing fast. I am sure that they are capable to host the Pan Ams.

SANTIAGO 2019 The Games return to South America, for the first time in Chile.

2019 PAN AMERICAN GAMES What city will be the next host of the Pan American Games?

They will take the tittle of "best ever" from Rio de Janeiro... Well, we take that tittle from Winnipeg.

Toronto is following in the steps of Rio de Janeiro... Congratulations TORONTO!

Where can I watch the announcement?

TORONTO!

When and where the first Winter Olympics will be held in South America? I guess Santiago for the 2026 Winter Olympics, in a bidding process in 2017-19, after a sucessful Summer Olympics held in Rio de Janeiro in 2016.
