Although 2016 seems a long time away, countries have already started to bid for hosting the 2016 Summer Olympics. The host city of 2016 will be announced in Copenhagen in 2009.
One hopeful country is Qatar.
Although many believe it will be in North America, some think that other countries may be able to impress the judges due to the speed of their development. Areas like, South America, Africa, Southeast Asia and the Middle East have never hosted the Olympics before but some 'rising star' countries might be able to change that.
