The original summer Olympics started in Ancient Greece, so have your guess. The 2008 Beijing Games were the 29th Summer Olympiad although only 26 Summer Olympics have been held. Those scheduled for 1916, 1940, and 1944 were cancelled due to World Wars. The 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver will be the 21st Winter Olympiad although only 19 Winter Games have been held. Those scheduled for 1940 and 1944 were cancelled due to World War II.
