    Rio de Janeiro was shortlisted receiving a 6.4 score, according to a study of its Application File delivered to the IOC Working Group on January 14, 2008.[5] As a Candidate city, Rio de Janeiro submitted its Candidature File to the IOC on February 11, 2009.[6] The dossier was analyzed by the IOC Evaluation Commission, which arrived in the city on April 27, 2009, to assess the quality of the bid.[7] Between April 29 and May 2, the Commission attended technical presentations and made inspections in all the existing venues across the city, giving a favorable assessment in its final report.[8]

    The

    121st IOC Session, held in Copenhagen, Denmark, on October 2, 2009.[11][12] It will be the first city in South America to host the Games.[13]

    Rio de Janeiro planned to organize the Games at a cost of

    Maracanã—apart from venues for golf and rugby union, which were added to the Olympic program after the election.[16][17] Football matches will be held in the cities of Belo Horizonte, Brasília, Salvador and São Paulo.[18] The proposed dates range from August 5 to 21 for the Olympic Games, and September 7 to 18 for the Paralympic Games.[19]

    Throughout the campaign, the Rio de Janeiro bid committee introduced its plans to the General Assemblies of all

    Evaluation

    Rio de Janeiro was primarily evaluated during the Applicant phase, accurately on March 14, 2008, when the IOC Working Group released its report after four days of meetings, giving a

    weighted-average score of 6.4 to the bid.[57] It was based on a thorough technical analysis of the projects presented on the Application File, which was developed by the Rio de Janeiro bid committee after having access to the Olympic Games Knowledge Management database as well as the official IOC Technical Manuals.[57] The Working Group composed of several experts assessed the city's potential for staging successful Olympic Games according to eleven criteria presented in the Application File.[57] Rio de Janeiro's highest score came from Government support, legal issues and public opinion due to the strong government commitment, and its lowest from Safety and security due to the city's chronic problems of violence.[57] Experience in major events also yielded good scores, while a shortage in the number of required hotel rooms undermined the accommodation theme.[57] The Working Group also gave a 8.3 score to Tokyo, 8.1 to Madrid, 7.0 to Chicago, 6.9 to Doha, 5.3 to Prague and 4.3 to Baku; being the basis for the selection to the Candidature phase.[58] On September 18, 2008, after the shortlist which concluded the Application phase, the IOC announced the composition of its Evaluation Commission.[59] The commission inspected the four Candidate cities under the leadership of Nawal El Moutawakel, who also chaired the Evaluation Commission for the bid process of the 2012 Summer Olympics and Paralympics.[59]

    The IOC Evaluation Commission arrived in Rio de Janeiro on April 27, 2009, to assess the quality of the bid, stating that the welcoming activities prepared by the city had been the best.[60] Unlike the first evaluation, the committee did not assign scores, but analyzed the probability of execution of the plans.[61] During the first two days of the visit, the Evaluation Commission held internal meetings at Copacabana Palace, the host hotel.[62] Between April 29 and 30, the Commission attended technical presentations in a large ballroom equipped with lighting and multi-media resources, where it participated in question-and-answer sessions about each of the seventeen themes presented in the Candidature File.[63] May Day was marked by the inspectors' visits to all existing venues across the city.[64] On May 2, 2009, the Evaluation Commission made a press conference to highlight the main points of the visit.[65] According to El Moutawakel, the Commission was very impressed with the unity of government support, the quality of the presentations and the level of integration of the Games in the country's long-term development plan.[66] After seven days of inspections involving 300 professionals, the thirteen members of the IOC Evaluation Commission left Rio de Janeiro on May 3, 2009, on the way to Madrid.[62] One month before the election, on September 2, 2009, Rio officials welcomed the released of the 2016 Evaluation Commission Report.[67] It gave a very positive assessment to the city and described the documents submitted by Rio de Janeiro as "of a very high quality".[61][68]

    According to the Rio de Janeiro bid committee, the bid's concept was based on four principles—technical excellence, experience of a lifetime, transformation, and supporting the

    Brazilian people.[86][87] Rio de Janeiro integrated economic, environmental and social elements into its "Green Games for a Blue Planet" vision and planted 2.386 seedlings to offset 716 tons of carbon emitted over the two years of campaign.[88][89]

    The visual identity of the candidature consisted of a logo and a slogan, which were applied in marketing moves during the campaign.

    Olympic rings and the label Candidate city on June 18, 2008, after Rio was shortlisted.[93] At midnight on January 1, 2009, the bid's slogan "Live your passion" was launched during the New Year's celebrations, which was attended by nearly two million people.[94] According to the Rio officials, the slogan reflected the "Brazilian's way of getting passionately involved in whatever they do".[95] It was projected onto the Rio de Janeiro 2016-themed Ferris wheel after the countdown to the beginning of 2009.[96] The structure erected on Copacabana beach to promote the candidature was 36 m (118 ft 1 in) high, weighed 80 tonnes (180,000 lb) and had 24 gondolas for 144 people.[97][98]

    On July 24, 2008, the Rio de Janeiro bid committee launched the Casa Brasil (English: Brazil House), a place built at a cost of more than

    Ministry of External Relations of Brazil also played an important during the campaign by contacting diplomats, embassies and consulates all over the world to gain foreign political support for the bid, such as from the President of France, Nicolas Sarkozy.[107][108]

    Politics

    Carlos Arthur Nuzman
    , chair of the Rio de Janeiro bid committee.

    The Rio de Janeiro bid committee was an incorporated non-profit entity under the leadership of an Honorary Council and an Executive Board, both chaired by Carlos Arthur Nuzman.

    Governor of the State of Rio de Janeiro Sérgio Cabral, the Mayor of the Municipality of Rio de Janeiro Eduardo Paes, and the two Brazilian IOC members: Nuzman and João Havelange.[109] At the executive level, the Executive Board was divided in four departments—Government Coordination Commission, Business Council, Legacy Committee and Athletes' Commission—being responsible for the main operations of the campaign.[109] The Board also included representations from the three levels of Government with the specific authority to make commitments on behalf of their respective Governments.[110] Technical aspects of the bid were supported by various Councils and Committees composed of a professionals staff, and supplemented by a team of domestic and international experts; which were coordinated by Carlos Roberto Osório, Secretary General of the bid committee.[110] Mike Lee, former Director of Communications and Public Affairs for the London bid for the 2012 Summer Olympics, was the lead advisor to the bid of Rio de Janeiro.[111] His company, Vero Campaigning Communications, was responsible for planning the bid's advertising campaign strategy, presentation scripts, visual support development and international media relations, as well as international press conferences.[112]

    Ministry of Labor guaranteed the entry, exit and working arrangements for Games personnel.[121] People in possession of a valid passport and an Olympic or Paralympic Identity and Accreditation Card, in lieu of a visa, will be able to enter the Brazilian territory.[121]

    Controversies

    The IOC's decision to shorlist Rio de Janeiro over Doha generated criticism, as the

    Belgian Olympic Committee.[130] When aired by AXN in Brazil on September 3, 2009, the episode received much criticism.[131] Eduardo Paes called the show "ridiculous and pathetic", while the Rio de Janeiro bid committee condemned the "irresponsible and reckless use" of the city's image.[131]

    Ahead of the election, the Rio de Janeiro bid committee lodged an official complaint against Madrid with the IOC Ethics Commission about comments made on September 30, 2009, by José Maria Odriozola, vice president of the

    Shintarō Ishihara, Governor of Tokyo, blamed "invisible dynamics" and political deals for Tokyo's failure.[137] Rio officials repudiated "the inappropriate statements" and sent a formal notification to the IOC on October 6, 2009.[138][139] On November 30, 2009, the Hollywood actor Robin Williams caused embarrassment due to humorous comments made in an interview with David Letterman.[140] During the Late Show with David Letterman, broadcasted by CBS, Williams said that Rio de Janeiro was elected as host city because it sent "50 strippers and a pound of blow [sic]" to compete with Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey, from Chicago.[141] The comments were widely criticized by the Brazilian media and government authorities.[140]

    Bid project

    Rio de Janeiro proposed to stage the 2016 Summer Olympics from August 5, Friday, to August 21, Sunday, spreading medals across the program with two peaks at the weekends; and the 2016 Summer Paralympics from the Independence Day of Brazil, Wednesday, to September 18, Sunday.[16][142] This period was prepared in accordance with the international sports calendar to not conflict with other major event and had in advantage a friendly time zone to the main audience markets.[85] For this timeframe were predicted temperatures ranging from 18.9 °C (66.0 °F) to 28.1 °C (82.6 °F), average midday temperature of 24.2 °C (75.6 °F), humidity levels of 66.4% and absence of heavy rainfall, providing favorable atmosphere for athletic performance.[143][144] Similar dates were used to successfully stage, in 2007, the largest ever Pan American Games (5,633 athletes competing in 34 sports) and the accompanying Parapan American Games (1,115 athletes competing in 10 sports).[145][146] Other major sporting events hosted by Rio de Janeiro include the 2002 South American Games, the 2007 World Judo Championships, the 2008 FIFA Futsal World Cup and the then future 2011 Military World Games.[147][148][149] The city also hosted the fourth FIFA World Cup in 1950 and is going to host its twentieth edition in 2014, as well as the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup, which will provide upgrades to security, telecommunications and tourism infrastructure ahead of the Olympic and Paralympic Games.[150]

    Rio de Janeiro proposed to hold all sporting events within the city limits—apart from the football (

    Main Press Centre (MPC) will be located at the Barra zone, which is the core of the project and includes the largest number of competition venues.[16][153] A television tower will be built at the IBC/MPC complex to complement broadcasting operations and provide panoramic studios.[153] There will be a media-exclusive hotel within the complex, accessible directly from the IBC/MPC.[153][154] The Olympic and Paralympic Village complex will include an Olympic Village Training Center, an Olympic Village Park, an Olympic Beach and direct access to the Olympic Park, in addition to the 8,856 rooms to accommodate over 17,770 athletes and team officials, including accredited additional officials.[155]

    Rio de Janeiro's competition venues meet the

    International Federation's (IFs) technical requirements and both IOC and IPC standards, and align with the City Master Plan and legacy strategy.[156][157] Most venues are already operational, recently developed or renovated.[16] According to the Rio de Janeiro 2016 bid committee, there are ten (29%) existing venues with no permanent works required and eight (24%) venues requiring reforms, while nine (26%) new permanent venues and seven (21%) temporary venues will be built.[16] In total there will be 34 competition venues alongside 29 training venues, as part of the training venues strategy.[16][158] The most significant legacy project from the bid is the Olympic Training Center (OTC) program and facilities with its headquarters located in Barra zone.[159] Furthermore, the Rio de Janeiro 2016 bid committee recognized the possibility of new sports being added to the Olympic Program and, following detailed analysis for each of the seven potential sports—baseball, golf, karate, roller sports, rugby, softball and squash—confirmed its capability to accommodate any of them in respect to venues, transport and other operational or logistical aspects.[160] In addition, Rio de Janeiro and the four proposed cities to hold football (soccer) competitions—Brasília, Belo Horizonte, Salvador and São Paulo—were chosen to host the 2014 FIFA World Cup.[161]

    Rio de Janeiro will build the Summer Paralympics, upon the experience of hosting the III Parapan American Games—considered "the best ever" by the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) and the Americas Paralympic Committee (APC)—as well as many other international competitions for athletes with disabilities.[146][142][162] For this purpose, the organizing committee will include representatives of the Brazilian Paralympic Committee (BPC) and create a specific department responsible for supervising the Games.[142][163] Another element that will bring the Paralympics up to par with their Olympic counterpart is the reuse of twenty Olympic competition venues for the equivalent Paralympic sports.[164] Promotion of accessibility-friendly measures by the hospitality and tourism industries will also be encouraged and recognized by the government.[165]

    Rio de Janeiro's infrastructure, systems, management structures and staff readiness will be tested during the 2014 FIFA World Cup and during dedicated test events for the transport network in 2015.

    Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system is going to be the main solution to the city's topography.[174][175] Security and disaster-related risks for the event will be mitigated by the implementation of a comprehensive security operation.[176] Crime in parts of Rio de Janeiro was considered to be an issue for the safety of people attending the Games.[177] Rio de Janeiro's experience in mounting security structures around highly mediatized and crowd-attracting events is a positive aspect.[176][178] The Federal Government will be responsible for the security of the 2016 Summer Olympics and Paralympics.[179]

    The three levels of Brazilian government assured the free provision of a range of services to the bid, including security, medical services, customs, transport, immigration, and other governmental services and support.[180] Rio de Janeiro also approved funding of US$240 billion from the Program for Growth Acceleration (PAC) of the federal government.[180][181] Other revenue-generating activities include sponsorship sales, ticketing program, licensing and merchandising.[182] These revenues will be supplemented by IOC-secured commercial and broadcast contributions.[180][182] Capital expenditure on infrastructure by the government or the private sector includes already committed and ongoing investments of US$3.9 billion on projects such as airport and subway expansions and construction of the metropolitan road arc.[180][183] The OCOG budget does not assume any capital contributions to the construction of permanent or legacy venues, other than for Games overlay, including the construction of temporary venues.[180][184] The balance of OCOG expenditures will be funded by the public sector, involving a combination of government commitments from Federal, State and Municipal levels.[182][185] The OCOG budget and operating expenses are projected at US$2.8 billion, with its Olympic-related budget, including capital investments in transportation, sports venues and incremental costs being US$11.6 billion.[180][186] The government submitted guarantees to cover any potential shortfall.[187] The bid expenses for both Applicant and Candidature phases were of R$85,792 million, as released during the official closing of the campaign on November 11, 2009.[182][188]
