More to Olympic bid than just wanting it
Reno Gazette-Journal editorial
When the International Olympic Committee finally got around to choosing a host for the 2016 summer games on Friday, it made the right decision. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, was a worthy winner, bringing the Olympic Games to South America for the first time and recognizing that nation’s position as one of the top economies in the world.
How the IOC’s choice of Rio de Janeiro may affect the hopes of many in Northern Nevada to one day bring the winter games back to the Reno-Tahoe area is difficult to gauge.
