They are: XII-XIII-XII respectively
The 1st Olympiad was in 1896, the 2nd in 1900, and so on every four years. There were no Olympics in 1916, 1940 or 1944 due to the World Wars, but those scheduled Olympics had numbers assigned to them, too (VI, XII and XIII). So the calculation is (year - 1892) ÷ 4.
The XXX Olympiad will be held in the Summer of 2012.
There has been a Pius XII but no Pius XIII.
The Games of the XXX (30th) Olympiad were held in 2012, in London.
