It is time to light the Olympic cauldron in a tropical country.” — Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, speaking to the International Olympic Committee before the committee chose Rio de Janeiro as the site of the 2016 Summer Olympics. Brazil had argued that it was unfair that South America has never hosted the games.
