Best Answer

Chicago didn't get enough votes. In Olympic bidding all the potential host cities are voted on. Each member of the Olympic Committee places a vote on a city. Until one city receives over 50% of the votes, the city with the lowest votes is eliminated. The 2016 bidding went as follows:

  1. Madrid - 28
  2. Rio de Janeiro - 26
  3. Tokyo - 22
  4. Chicago - 18

Chicago had the least votes, so Chicago was eliminated. In the second round Tokyo was eliminated and in the third round Rio de Janerio won the majority vote.
