Judging by the reports about the Olympic Committee’s decision for which city will win the bid to host the 2016 summer games, we have a sneaking suspicion that it’s not going to be Chicago.

So, we present to you The 7 Sexiest Reasons Chicago Needs to Win The 2016 Olympic Bid.

Update: The 2016 Summer Olympics were awarded to Rio de Janeiro.  So here are 7 sexiest things Chicago will miss in 2106.

Added to the list of the hottest Olympic athletes is Spanish Olympic rhythmic gymnast super-hottie, Almudena Cid. You may not know a lot about rhythmic gymnastics, but that’s ok. There’s not much to know. Bascially, they just dance around on the floor and twirl around a streamer like Will Ferrell does in Old School. Actually, it’s exactly what Will Ferrell does in Old School. Except way sexier.
