The
summer Olympics
were held first.
Then in 1924 the
Winter Olympics
started. At first,
the Olympics were
every four years.
If the summer
Olympics happened
first, four years
later, the winter
Olympics would be
held. But in 1994
that changed. The
Olympics started
to take place every
2 years alternating
between summer and
winter Olympics.
