Best Answer

These are the "games of the 20th Winter Olympiad", meaning that there were 19 previous events. In general, the Olympics come every 4 years. The exceptions were 1992/1994--that's when they decided to do the Summer and Winter games in separate years, so there's some kind of Olympics every two years. Also, there were no games during World War II (1940/1944). The first Winter Games were held in 1924.

Ancient Olympics

First recorded Games was in 776 BC, and the last was in 393, which makes a total of 299 recorded games.

Modern Olympics

Summer Olympics: 27

Winter Olympics: 21

Total: 48
This is the Olympic Games XXX (30th). The ancient Olympic games have been held since the ancient times in Greece around 400 B.C. But the modern Olympics have been around since 1896 when Baron Pierre de Coubertin brought the idea back
