The Olympics are held every four years. However the Summer and Winter Olympics are not held in the same year. There is a two year gap between the Summer and Winter Olympics. There are Summer Olympic games in 2012 and 2016 and 2020 and every four years after that. There are Winter Olympics games in 2014, 2018, 2022 and every four years after that.

The Olympic games are played every four years. But the Summer and Winter Olympics are "staggered", so that there is an Olympic Games every two years (summer, winter, summer winter, etc). The tradition of the Summer Olympics began in 1896. There have been several games not played due to World War I and World War II.

Every 4 years there are the Summer Olympics, and every 4 years there are the Winter Olympics. So every 2 years there are Olympic Games.
