How often are the Olympics held?

Answer

It is every two years alternating.

For example, we had the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, then the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, and soon we'll have the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens.

Answer

To be precise, it is:

Every 4 years before 1992, and every 2 years afterward.

Winter and Summer games used to be held in the same year. For example, Winter game at Albertville, France and Summer game at Barcelona, Spain in 1992. However, starting in 1994 Winter Game in Lillehammer, Norway, it is winter game and summer game alternating every 2 years.
