While I am not a sports fan, I happen to know the 20l2 Olympiad ( Olympic Games, the Five Ring thing)- is scheduled to take place in the environs of London, not the Isle of Man.
The fourth Commonwealth Youth Games were held in Isle of Man from September 7th to September 13th, 2011.
The Commonwealth Youth Games are a small-scale version of the Commonwealth Games, designed for children and young people. The inaugural Commonwealth Youth Games were held in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 2000, and the second in Bendigo, Victoria, Australia, in 2004. The third Games took place in Pune, India, in 2008, and were viewed in part as a test event for the 2010 main Commonwealth Games. The fourth Games are scheduled to take place in Douglas, Isle of Man, in 2011. From 2011 onwards the Games will revert to a four-yearly cycle. The hosting of the 2015 Commonwealth Youth Games has been awarded to Apia, Samoa. Wrexham in Wales has so far expressed an interest in hosting the 2019 Commonwealth Youth Games
