Yes, the South Asian Winter Games.
The modern Summer Olympic Games was started in 1896. There have been 28 Summer Olympic Games held. The modern Winter Olympic Games were started in 1924. There have been 20 Winter Olympic Games held.
None until recently. There have been several countries that have hosted both a Winter and Summer Games (United States, France, Italy, Canada, Germany, Japan) but no city had hosted both a Summer and Winter Games until Beijing was awarded the 2022 Winter Games after hosting the 2008 Summer Games
they have competed in 12 summer games and 3 winter games
The Winter Olympics have never been held in England. The 1908 and 1948 Summer Games were held in England and the upcoming 2012 Summer Games will be held in England.
Japan first participated in the Summer Olympics in 1912. They have participated in all Summer Olympic since except for 1948 and 1980. They first participated in the Winter Olympics in 1928 and have been in all Winter Games except the 1948 Games. The 2008 Olympics is the 20th Summer Games Japan has participated in. They have been to 18 Winter Games.
Every 4 years. (2 years apart from summer and winter) So the winter games start January 12, 2010. So the previous games have been played in 2006, 2002, 1998 and 1994 (4 years earlier) The summer games took place 2 years ago (2008) and the summer games previous to that have been in 2004, 2000 and 1996 (4 years earlier)
As of 2008, there have been 5 Olympic Games cancelled. The 1916 Summer Games were cancelled due to World War I and the 1940 Winter and Summer Games and the 1944 Winter and Summer Games were cancelled due to World War II.
Traditionally it has been a winter sport, but most games are now played in the summer and some in winter.
Since the introduction of the modern Olympic Games in 1896 the London in 2012 is the 30th. If the Winter Games are included, the Vancouver 2010 was the 50th.Ancient OlympicsFirst recorded Games was in 776 BC, and the last was in 393, which makes a total of 299 recorded games.
The original summer Olympics started in Ancient Greece, so have your guess. The 2008 Beijing Games were the 29th Summer Olympiad although only 26 Summer Olympics have been held. Those scheduled for 1916, 1940, and 1944 were cancelled due to World Wars. The 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver will be the 21st Winter Olympiad although only 19 Winter Games have been held. Those scheduled for 1940 and 1944 were cancelled due to World War II.
I don't believe that there has been one
USA has been in every Summer Olympics, except the 1980 Games, and every Winter Olympics. That makes USA competing in 25 Summer Olympics and 20 Winter Olympics
