Thank you very much, mr_one, but I was asking for the video played before the announcement. Before Jacques Rogge opened the envelope, a video of each candidate city was played. Rio's one featured athletes practising sports with the song "Cidade Maravilhosa".

IMO they weren't that amazing. Wasn't buying the "super friendly-welcoming Cariocas love foreign visitors", pretty lame. Actors were terrible, making corny happy faces and chewing the scenery....it was all very Olympics stereotype bulls**t, nothing new.

Nothing in Rio bid is good in your opinion... NOTHING

It's just amazing how Rio won and got 66 votes...

You are biased... and still angry USA didn't make it against a poor-fullofmonkeys-underdeveloped-bananas-nonEnglishspeakers country... :angry:

Ask Moutawakel... She cried with the clip... Maybe the clip was not for americans watching it on TV...

But for those who actually votes.

And the carioca-friendly-welcoming-visitors is just like that in real life.

Hey, Stirthesoul,

You must come to Rio and feel the city by yourself. Of course there were stereotypes. Sell and buy, don´t forget, as Baron used to point. As we say here, some things were "para inglês ver", just to present what Rio intended people would like to see. But the most part is Rio as it is.
