Yes, in 1992 and 1994. Up to 1992, the Winter Olympics and Summer Olympics were held in the same year.

To do this, they scheduled the Winter Olympics for 1994, two years after the 1992 Winter Olympics and kept the Summer Olympics scheduled for 1996, four years after the 1992 Summer Olympics. 1992 and 1994 is the only time the Winter Olympics were held two years apart.

Back in the old days the Winter & Summer Olympics were both in the same year, and 4 years apart. Now-a-days, they switch every 2 years from Summer, to Winter! So, for example in 2008 we had the Summer Olympics in Beijing, and 2 years later we had the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver! :) Next we will be having the Summer Olympics of 2012 in London! I am not certain when the Olympics will be coming to your country
