What date was the Olympics abolished?
As far as I know, the modern Olympics have never been abolished. There have been times when teams or countries boycotted, but the Olympics still continues on, year after year, as they have since 1896. But perhaps you are referring to ancient times: during the Roman Empire, Emperor Theodosius I (who was a Christian) decided the Olympics were too pagan, and he ordered them to be banned. That occurred in the year 393, and the ban lasted for more than 1500 years.

Why is there a four year gap between each summer olympic games?
The spacing of the modern Olympics follows that of the ancient Greek games, where a four-year span on a calendar was also known as an "olympiad" and was a defined epoch of time. The modern version of the Olympics began in 1896, and the Winter Olympics in 1924, being held in years evenly divisible by 4. In 1986, it was decided that the Winter Olympics would be offset by 2 years from the Summer Games, beginning in 1992. So there were Winter Olympics in both 1992 and 1994 (XVI and XVII Winter Olympiads), with the next Winter Games held in 1998.
When was the first time that the winter and summer Olympics were not held in the same year?
The first summer Olympics were held in 1896. The first winter Olympics began in 1924 concurrently with the summer Olympics. 1992, the IOC held separate Olympics alternating in 2 year spans, i.e. winter Olympics last held in 2006, summer Olympics last held in 2008.
Was winter Olympics ever held at two year interval?
Yes, in 1992 and 1994. Up to 1992, the Winter Olympics and Summer Olympics were held in the same year. The International Olympic Committee decided to split the Winter and Summer Games by two years in the hopes of getting more attention for the Games since they would be held two years apart instead of in the same year. To do this, they scheduled the Winter Olympics for 1994, two years after the 1992 Winter Olympics and kept the Summer Olympics scheduled for 1996, four years after the 1992 Summer Olympics. 1992 and 1994 is the only time the Winter Olympics were held two years apart.
