The Netherlands women's water polo team won the gold medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, defeating the United States 9-8 in the final. This was the first Olympic women's water polo tournament for the Dutch team.

The official name of Olympic Games follows a standard format: 'Games of [Roman numeral] Olympiad'. Beijing 2008 was the 29th modern Olympic Games, hence 'Games of XXIX Olympiad'. The naming convention doesn't reference the host city directly in the official title.

The 2008 Summer Paralympics in Beijing followed the main Olympics, running from September 6-17, 2008. The Paralympics are typically held about 2-4 weeks after the Olympics conclude in the same host city.

The 2014 Commonwealth Games were hosted by Glasgow, Scotland. London hosted in 2014 is incorrect (1934, 2014 was Glasgow), Rio de Janeiro is not a Commonwealth host, and Melbourne hosted in 2006, not 2014.

The 2014 Asian Games were hosted by Incheon, South Korea. This was the 17th edition of the Asian Games. China hosted in 1990 and 2010, Japan hosted in 1958, 1966, 1994 (Winter), and 1998, while North Korea has never hosted the Asian Games.

The 2014 Winter Olympics were hosted by Sochi, Russia. This was the first time Russia hosted the Winter Olympics as an independent nation (the USSR had hosted in 1980). Sochi is a resort city on the Black Sea coast.

The 2010 Commonwealth Games were hosted by Delhi, India. This was the first time India hosted the Commonwealth Games, making it a significant sporting event for the country.

The Olympic flag displays five intertwined rings representing the five inhabited continents: Africa, Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania.

This the right answer because Brazil will host Olympics in 2016.
