June 15, 2012: The government announced today that due to a shortage of funds, the 2012 Olympics will now be held in 2024.

To reduce costs, the decathlon will be cut to 8 events, while the heptathlon will be cut to only 5 events and the modern pentathlon to 3. The triple jump will now become the double jump and the 100 metres will be cut in half to 50 - while the new Olympic flag (below) will now be just 3 rings.
