Lula's devoted effort and personal charm worked in the final presentation, observers here say.

Lula made a hearted and passionate speech in very short sentences, taking the breath away of his audience.

The IOC listed the strong points in its evaluation report about Rio.

It said that Rio de Janeiro's bid "is centred on the vision of using sport as a catalyst for social integration" and the Games for "celebration and transformation" of the city, the region and the country.

The bid is driven by the Brazilian Government and Rio 2016's vision incorporates the government's plans for improved social integration through investment in sports programs involving social inclusion through sport and leisure, elite sports training, expansion of infrastructure, the promotion of major events and its commitment to bring the Games to South America.

A Rio 2016 Games aims to showcase Brazil's and Rio's capabilities, social and economic development and natural features, the report said.

The 2016 venue plan would be closely aligned with general development plans and the social needs of the city. The Games would act as a vehicle for new facilities, transport and other infrastructure and physical regeneration, particularly of the city's waterways and key development zones of the city.

The federal government considers the investment required for infrastructure would leave an affordable and significant legacy.
