When and where were the first modern Summer Olympics held
The People's Republic of China first competed at the 1952 Summer Games in Helsinki when they sent one athlete, a swimmer named Wu Chuanyu, to the Games. They did not compete in another Olympics until the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid. They have competed in every Winter Olympics since then and competed in every Summer Olympics since 1984.
The first Olympics started at 1739AD The Olympics (Summer or Winter) occurs every four years, but the Summer and Winter Olympics are offset by two years so that an Olympic competition actually happens every two years. Because each country must qualify their prospective athletes in time to compete in a given Olympics, competitions are held year-round.
