Rio was chosen at the same IOC session in Copenhagen where Frederik was voted member of the IOC. I don't think he would have had a vote at that point.
I remember it because former President Lula of Brazil was so happy, that he gave Frederik a big hug when arriving to a reception hosted by the DRF.
All the other guests were of course shaking hands.

Tomorrow, Crown Prince Frederik is in charge of the presentation of The Brain Prize 2016.
"The Brain Prize is awarded to one or more scientists who have distinguished themselves by an outstanding contribution to European neuroscience."
