when the world wars were on
The Olympic games were cancelled in 1916, 1940, and 1944 due to World Wars I and II.
Because it is not 4 years apart from when the last games were held.
Summer games= 4 years Winter games= 2 years
Ever since the olympic games were every 4 years, so were the olympic winter games, and they probably started out in different years so they will always be that way.
how many years between the olympic games
Every two years, cities around the world make bids to the International Olympic Commission (IOC) to host the Olympic Games.
Two examples are:- The Olympic Games and The World Cup (Football)
this year it is the 30th olympic games of the modern era.
The Olympics have been canceled a handful of times. The Summer Olympics were canceled in 1916, 1940, and 1944. The Winter Olympics were also canceled in 1940 and 1944.
The FIFA World Cup because it lasts longer than the Olympics etc. and it draws a bigger crowd
Munich, 1972, and Atlanta, 1996, were the cities and years of the Olympic Games that had terrorist disturbances.
