There are two years between an edition of the Summer Olympics and the next Winter Olympics, and then another two years before the next Summer Games.
Between editions of the Games of the same season, there are four years. This goes back to ancient times, as there were four different sporting/religious events held by the Greeks. One was held every year, causing a rotation. The greatest of these events was, of course, the Games of Olympia, the games dedicated to Zeus.
It became to expensive to have both Olympics in the same year so the split schedule was devised.
Wrestling is a Summer Olympics sport.
The Winter and Summer Olympics were held on the same year until 1992 when the Summer Olympics were held in Barcelona and the Winter Olympics were held in Albertville, France. The IOC voted to change the tradition and the next Winter Olympics were held in 1994 in Lillehammer, Norway.
