Iremember when we heard the news. we had been on the beach all day, waiting to hear. luckily, it was a sunny day after a week of rain! there were thousands of people on the beach because it was a public holiday and everyone was in a party mood. we just hoped we were going to get what we wanted. there were two big screens on the beach so we could see the results, and we were also listening to live music. one of my favourite singers was on in the morning and after that there was a samba band and everyone danced. suddenly, the news came through on the screens and there was a huge roar from the crowd. brazil had won the bid to host the 2016 olympics! a wave of emotion swept over me. thousands of people were dancing and singing and the sand disappeared under a sea of yellow and green brazilian flags. there was confetti everywhere. it was unbelievable. in the end the party went on all night, and it was definitely one of the best days of my life.
