You can give as much notice as you want, but if there is an emergency situation leave can be cancelled........and in situations like this, where the Authorities know that there is going to be a greater demand for services the you can ask for leave, but it will not be granted during the time the olympics is on.
You just have to plan your leave for some other time. I am pretty sure that in the areas where there are Olympic events taking place that as soon as it was clear the Olympics were coming - staff would be told that NO leave would be granted during this time.......so staff would have had plenty of notice.
As for the going sick thing. Well, you are going to look pretty daft on your 'return to work' interview with a suntan.....certainly won't be believed.
