Brazil's strategy: Be quick off blocks in bid to host 2016 Games, writes the Tribune's Kathy Bergen.

Rio, which is a finalist now after two previous unsuccessful tries for the Olympics, also has a somewhat higher hill to climb. This spring an IOC working group evaluated bid cities' plans, and Rio placed last among the finalists on technical aspects.

C2,to play here on this playground and play with el's ball you have to know the rules.
1. Any attempt at addressing a topic in question MUST be framed in: China is brillant and never fails to outwit US and Europeans in any context,field or encounter.
2.Brazil found some oil, therefore they to are wunderkids,that has cleverly outwitted the "evil empire"(that would be us)at every turn.(see sugarcane.)
3.Most other posters know these rules and abide by same,with a few exceptions,Haim,dw,and some others.But tolerance for dissent is limited so tread lightly. :)
