Perhaps the point should be made again.

Although no country in South America has ever hosted the Olympics, the country of Mexico has.

Mexico is in a cultural region known as Latin America where most people speak Spanish, but not all. Here is a list of some languages spoken in that region:

          Spanish, Portuguese, French, Quechua, Aymara, Nahuatl, Mayan languages, Guaraní, English, Haitian Creole, Jamaican Creole and Papiamentu.

It's nice to see Brazil get the games. They are a major power in the New World.

Latin America has 1/12th of the worlds population.
