The Olympics of 1916 were interrupted by WWI, the games scheduled for 1940 and 1944 were cancelled owing to WWII. The games of 1948 were hurried and subject to austerity measures incurred by the economic difficulties repairing Europe in the aftermath of WWII.

Was winter Olympics ever held at two year interval?

Yes, in 1992 and 1994. Up to 1992, the Winter Olympics and Summer Olympics were held in the same year. The International Olympic Committee decided to split the Winter and Summer Games by two years in the hopes of getting more attention for the Games since they would be held two years apart instead of 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.
