Before WWII, NAZI Germany under Hitler (since 1933) hoped that the 1936 Olympic games would show the natural superiority of white, northern-European athletes. The Ayran race was supposed to make Hitler proud. But Germany did not do as well as they wanted. In the running events, black American runner Jesse Owens beat the white athletes and got a Gold medal. I'm not sure if other people of other so-called "inferior" races outperformed German or Ayrian athletes too.

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.
