I'm just quite curious and it'd be a nice conversation to have :)

And after that, the next Olympics will be in Brazil, right? They are having both the World Cup and the Olympics during a very short period of time, if I am not mistaken?

Sorry to burst your bubble. From Wikipedia:
[i] India Delhi, India
Anticipating success in hosting large scale events such as the 2010 Commonwealth Games, the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) stated that "Delhi would bid for the 2020 Olympics."[66] Sports minister Manohar Singh Gill later stated that funding infrastructure would come before a 2020 bid. Due to the Commonwealth Games debacle it is unlikely Delhi will bid for the 2020 Olympics.[67] [/i]

I can imagine India giving the thumbs down. They've made big mistakes in the preparation for the Commonwealth Games. The olympic games are much bigger and more expensive to organize. Also India needs to focus on their people much more. Slumdog Millionaire is for real, so first fix that and then knock the olympic door. That's my opinion.
