Should have sent a big Chicago star to make a speech to put their bid over the top. Someone who knows how to make a speech without apologies. Someone who has worldwide popularity and respect across all races and religions.

In the end, Chicago’s final pitch depended on the power of the speakers there in the meeting hall in Copenhagen to close the deal. And three of the key performers, Mayor Daley, Chicago 2016 Chairman Pat Ryan and, yes, President Obama, simply didn’t have the touch when it was most needed. Everyone knew Daley and Ryan could never be charismatic speakers, but President Obama surprised us with a speech that never took off. He seemed a shadow of his typically forceful self — only half there in the Copenhagen and never fully committed to the message he was delivering.

Only Michelle Obama came through for Chicago. And she was extraordinary — talking with great emotion and simple eloquence about Chicago, its people and, most importantly, her father’s love of sport. But she alone couldn’t seal the deal.

Rio was a given. It was decided long ago. IOC just had to go through the motions. They were always the front runners being South America has hosted no Olympic games. Would have taken a miracle for any other location to take it from them.
