It could just be because they already had all of is planned out and everything... They already had made it official, that the Olympics in 1980 would be the 22nd Olympics, the Olympics in 1884 would be the 23rd Olympics ect... They didn't want to break that tradition.

The 2008 Olympics in Beijing will be called the 29th Olympiad. They are actually numbered as if they were held every four years.

So the 29th Olympiad will really be the 26th modern Olympics.
