Good morning, everyone. Welcome to TODAY on a Saturday morning. I’m Lester Holt. And I’m Amy Robach. And Lester? Welcome back from Chicago. You were there when that stunning announcement was made. People were speechless and quiet. I was on Daily Plaza. Thousands of people gathered there watching in the JumboTron초대형 광고 디스플레이 quite expecting a showdown between Rio and Chicago. Right! And then boom! First round…..it’s not going to happen.

And look at people face. It was just they kept waiting to… maybe he’s going to say something more and what they heard was not what they thought they heard.

 

We’re going to get into what went wrong for Chicago and what went right for Rio. Also coming up this morning, the latest on the alleged extortion plot against David Letterman. Prosecutors say the suspect Joe Holderman had a compelling어쩔 수 없는 motive for blackmail. They call him, “capable of doing anything.” He says he’s not guilty.

After an impassion pitch to host the first ever South American Olympic Games, Rio de Janeiro’s victory was no surprise. “The city of Chicago will not participate in the next round.” But the early round loser was. Thousands in Chicago’s Daily Plaza who had gathered to celebrate a victory, instead learned Chicago had come in last behind Rio, Madrid and Tokyo. This, despite lobbying by Oprah Winfrey and first lady Michelle Obama and a last minute trip to Copenhagen by president Obama who risks political backlash격한 반발 of the US to pitch for his hometown. He was heading back to Washington DC when he got the news. “One of the things that I think is most valuable about sports is that you can play a great game and still not win.” Brazil has a population of 200 million people and an economy that is expected to be the world’s fifth largest by the time of the 2016 games.
