2012 Summer Olympics (1983: Doomsday)

The 2012 Summer Olympic Games, officially known as the Games of the XIII Olympiad, are scheduled to take place in Auckland, ANZC, from 27 July to 12 August 2012. Auckland will become the first city to officially host the modern Summer Olympic Games since Doomsday.

In 2006, the IOC announced the summer Olympics would resume in 2010 in Auckland, ANZC. In November 2010, the games were postponed to 2012.

The Olympics prompted a redevelopment of many of the areas of Auckland in which the games are to be held – particularly themed towards sustainability – while the budgetary considerations have generated some criticism.

History
In 2006, the IOC announced the summer Olympics would resume in 2010 in Auckland, ANZC. In November 2010, the games were postponed to 2012. Throughout 2009, the move to postpone the summer games gained popularity amongst national sports federations and certain IOC officials. Three reasons drove this move: first, a desire amongst IOC officials to have the Games back on the traditional schedule (2010 is two years removed from that), second, a desire amongst sports federations of nations competing in the football World Cup to not hold an Olympics weeks after that event concludes; and third, several poorer nations want two additional years to get themselves up to sufficient standards to compete.

New Athens
The Confederation of Greece bid New Athens, although the IOC inicially was interested in New Athens, because, the IOC saidm "In Greece the olympic Games start, and it would be interesting that the games would start again in Greece after Doomsday". But with the Sicilian threat and invasion of Tunisia in 2004, the IOC decide it would be dangerous that the games would be so near Sicily, specially in an island.

New Cairo
Egypt also bid New Cairo, but fue to being a new city, and actually growing and near Sicily, New Cairo was not chosen.

Krasnoyark
Socialist Siberia bid their capital, Krasnoyark, it was possible not chosen because, of the location, isolation, and because Moscow host the last summer games in 1980 before being destroyed in 1983.

Caracas
Venezuela and the SAC bid Caracas, although the IOC haved some interest, they decide Auckland, because Latin America haved their Olympic Games in 1968, and Oceania never had one, so it was finally decided that Auckland would held the games.
