Your question is very vague. . There are two Olympics - Summer sports and Winter sports. The games for these are held 4 years apart but the Winter games comes 2 years after the Summer Games.

The last winter Olympics was in 2010, held in Vancouver Canada.

The last summer Olympics was in 2008, held in Beijing China.

We are currently holding the 2012 summer Olympics in London England.

We will hold the next 2014 winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.
