There is no particular reason. It is just on a 4 year cycle that started in 1930, which wasn't a leap year. With the exception of 1942 and 1946, due to World War II, it has been held every 4 years since then. Leap years have other major sporting events in them that are also on 4 year cycles. It would be a bit crowded if all sports events that follow 4 year cycles were all held in leap years and it would leave the other years with less events for sports fans. So many sporting events that are on 4 year cycles, such as the FIFA World Cup, happen to be in different years.

It is the elections.
All of the Winter Olympics, since they occur in between leap years. Additionally, the 1900 Olympic Games were not held on a leap year, since 1900 technically was not a leap year.
The Summer Olympics are held in the leap years.
The winter Olympics are never held during a leap year, they occur mostly in February of even-numbered non leap years. The summer Olympics occur in leap years (most of the time), with the exception of century years like 1900 and 2100, which are not leap years.
No ! The presidential elections are not always on a leap year. Even though a leap year is every 4 years, not every election is a leap year. The notable exceptions are years that mark centuries (example 1800, 1900, 2000). If those years are not divisible by 400, then the year is not a leap year.
4, The summer Olympics are held every leap year.
No, but 2004 and 2008 were both leap years.
Leap Years are years divisible by four, with two exceptions. 1. "Century" year numbers (divisible evenly by 100) are not leap years. 2. Years divisible evenly by 400 ARE leap years. So years like 1992 and 1996 were leap years. Century years like 1900 or 2100 are NOT leap years. But 2000 was a leap year, and 2400 will be.
The Leap Years was created in 2008.
