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.
15 of the 21 Winter Olympic games have taken place in Europe.
The first time the Summer Olympics were in London was in 1908. The second time was in 1948. London is the only city to have hosted the modern Summer Olympics three times, and the United Kingdom is one of only two countries that has hosted more than two modern Summer Olympics to date (the other is the United States, which has hosted four).
Every four years, a country is picked to host the Olympics games. Countries in Europe have hosted these games 34 times.
London, England is going to be the only countrie to have held the Olympics three times. So far they have held it in 1908 and 1948. In 2012 they will be holding the Olympics again. Many countries have held the Olympics twice. Such as Greece and Australia.
