The winter Olympics are every four years as well as the summer Olympics. But every two years there will be either a winter Olympics or summer Olympics.
Summer Olympics every 4 years and Winter Olympics every 4 years. Next Winter Olympics will be 2010 and Summer Olympicsin 2012.
It wasn't, it was played in the 1980 Winter games. Until 1992, the Summer and Winter Olympics were held in the same year. After that, the Winter Olympics were set for 1994 and the two alternate each two years.
The summer olympics, like the winter olympics occure, every four years.
Europe
We had 215 people participating in the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics from the USA.
Australia has never hosted the Winter Olympics. It's difficult to host the Winter Olympics in the Southern Hemisphere because it is summer when the games are traditionally played (February)
Chamonix, France in 1924
First international championship was in the 1920 Summer Olympics, from then it was played in Winter Olympics (1924,1928...)
The Summer Olympics occur every 4 years, and the same goes for Winter Olympics; except Winter Olympics take place always 2 years after the Summer Olympics. For example, Summer Olympics went to Beijing in 2008, Winter Olympics went to Vancouver in 2010, and Summer Olympics will come back on in 2012 in London.
The Winter Olympics are held every fourth year, two years after the Summer Olympics.
From what i can see, Greece excels at athletics and weightlifting. Their downfall is winter sports, and they have not won any gold medal at the Winter Olympics.
