How long is an Olympiad?

Four years make up an Olympiad, but, every two years there is an Olympics. What I mean about that is we just had the London 2012 Summer Olympics so two years later we will have the 2014 Winter Olympics in Russia, then two years later we will have the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio De Gandea and so and so fourth. As you see there was a two year distance between the Summer and Winter Olympics, but there still was a four year distance between the summer Olympia's!!:)

What was the 2014 winter Olympics about?

In my opinion the Winter Olympics are for the countries that wouldn't win very many medals in the Summer Olympics, for example, I don't think Norway wins very many swimming medals.Answer 2:The purpose is exactly the same as for Summer Olympics.It is just different sportevents. that's all.Olympic Games are there to unify nations in sport.A friendly way to compete among nations.I suppose economy plays a mayor part these days. There is a lot to earn and gain.Regards.because the wait for the Olympics was long so they created summer and winterThe winter Olympic sports such as skiing and ice skating require cold weather (in order to have snow and ice) whereas summer Olympic sports are more easily played in warm weather, so it would be difficult to have all these different events in the same season. That's why there is both a summer Olympics and a winter Olympics.
