Rio’s victory is a victory for Lula da Silva, too

By Tom Watkins, CNN

CNN) — The 63-year-old bearded fireplug of a man erupted in tears, pulled a white handkerchief from his back pocket, carefully unfolded it and pressed it into his eyes, pulled it away, pressed it again to his eyes, this time with more force, pulled it away again just long enough to take a sip of water, then rubbed them again.

“I’ve never won a gift before,” Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva told reporters. “The first gift I ever had in my life I had to buy. It was an old bike with a broken belt and I had to fix it. Today, people who don’t even know me gave me the greatest gift that a president could have: to host the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. Rio deserves this because Rio is a city that has suffered.”

Lula: “Río tiene alma, corazón”

J. S. – Copenhague – 03/10/2009

En las dos anteriores ocasiones en las que Río de Janeiro se ofreció para organizar unos Juegos Olímpicos, los de 2004 y los de 2012 (también aspiró a los de 1936), la ciudad brasileña ni siquiera tuvo la oportunidad de presentar sus valores a la votación final, pues había caído derrotada en el corte previo.

Ayer, en Copenhague, por primera vez tuvo el gigante latinoamericano la oportunidad de presentar ante los conspicuos miembros del COI sus argumentos, la razón de su pasión, la oportunidad de que su presidente, el emotivo sindicalista Lula da Silva, se convirtiera en el gran protagonista de la jornada. Se lo reconoció hasta Zapatero. “He felicitado a Lula por la gran estima personal que le tengo”, dijo el presidente del Gobierno español."
