Have the Winter Olympics and the Summer Olympics been held many times in the same year?

(Winter Olympics asks "Ji") Have the Winter Olympics and the Summer Olympics been held many times in the same year?

　　China News Service, Shijiazhuang, December 5th. We all know that in the Olympic family, the Winter Olympics and the Summer Olympics are held every 4 years, and they are held 2 years apart from each other.

　　But, do you know?

Initially, the Winter Olympics and the Summer Olympics were not "separated", but were held many times in the same year!

　　After sorting out, we found that the 1st Winter Olympics was held in 1924, and the 8th Summer Olympics was also held in the same year.

From then on, 1928, 1932, 1936... until 1992, it can be said that, except for the 1940 and 1944 World War II that caused the Winter Olympics and the Summer Olympics to be interrupted, they actually accompanied each other for 16 sessions.

　　Later, the International Olympic Committee decided to separate the Winter Olympics and the Summer Olympics from 1994.

Therefore, the 16th Albertville Winter Olympics in 1992 became the last Winter Olympics to be held in the same year as the Summer Olympics.

The 17th Lillehammer Winter Olympics in 1994 opened a new chapter in the history of the Olympic Games.

Since the Winter Olympics, the Winter Olympics and the Summer Olympics will be held alternately, with an interval of 2 years.

　　Speaking of this, did you find a more interesting question?

　　Yes, in order to stagger the time of the Winter Olympics and the Summer Olympics, the time between the 16th Winter Olympics in 1992 and the 17th Winter Olympics in 1994 was only 2 years.

Therefore, compared with the four-year interval, these two Olympics have become the shortest interval of all the previous Winter Olympics.
