Winter Olympics held in France: Chamonix, 1924 Grenoble, 1968 Albertville, 1992
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.
Did the summer and winter Olympics bo held at the same time?
Not anymore. From 1896 to 1920, there were no Winter Games -- only Summer Games which were held in 1896, 1900, 1904, 1906, 1908, 1912, 1916, and 1920. In 1924, the first modern Winter Games were held in Chamonix, France. The Summer and Winter Olympics continued to occur every 4 years with the Summer Games and Winter Games happening in the same year but in different cities. 1992 was the last year that this occurred. After 1992, the Winter Olympics occurred next in 1994 and the Summer Olympics in 1996. Ever since, they have alternated every 2 years.
