Question

1. (UFGD – MS)
While in Copenhagen, Lula was also very strategic in his country's presentation before the
committee. He brushed aside concerns of violence and crime in Rio, and to the president's credit,
the Olympic Committee praised Brazil for recent security improvements
. Lula also claimed that the
Olympics would help build Brazil
, and especially the city of Rio de Janeiro, by providing jobs for the
poor, integrating civil society, and building a spirit of peace and cooperation through sport
. Such a
prospect no doubt appealed to the committee as this goal was one of the original touted benefits of
the modern Olympics Games, dating back to their genesis at the end of the 19th century.
Most important, though, was Lula's argument that Brazil deserved and needed the Olympics.
Richer countries had had their turn, Lula said, and now it was Brazil's chance. Brazil ranks 10th
among the world's wealthiest countries
, but it is the only one of them never to have hosted the
games. It will be the first South American country to do so.
International sports tend to mirror politics. Today's decision will reveal, yet again, that Brazil is
an emerging power, and that it has the talent, infrastructural capacity, and political commitment
needed to play competitively in global political (and athletic) games. Such an endorsement will only
boost Lula's ability to shape international discussions and forge closer ties with other foreign leaders.
Perhaps since Lula visited Beijing in 2008 and publicly supported the government's efforts, the
president of China will return the favor in 2016.
There's also a larger story to tell about today's decision, one that speaks to other emerging nations
on the brink of global power. Like Brazil, India's and South Africa's governments still confront a high
degree of poverty, inequality, and weak infrastructure -- especially in rural areas. Like South Africa, recent
winning bid for the soccer World Cup, Brazil's win shows that effective presidential stewardship, fearless
competition, and a bit of strategy pays off at the international level and at home. Let the games begin!
