The 1940 and 1944 Summer and Winter Olympics were cancelled due to World War II.

The summer Olympics occur every four years. The most recent summer Olympics occurred in 2008, so the next summer Olympics will be in 2012. The 2012 Summer Olympics are scheduled to begin on July 27.

South America may not have all the proper facilities for hosting. Plus many of their countries may not have enough money to rent facilities. I dont think there are enough BIG modernized cities to hoast.

They have won about 10000 x 0 medals, what does that equal? 0 cause their sh*t

Thailand won one gold medal at the 2000 Games in Sydney. It was won by Wijan Ponlid in men's flyweight boxing. Thailand also won two bronze medals at the 2000 Games. They were won by Pornchai Thongburan in men's middleweight boxing and Khassaraporn Suta in women's 58 kilogram weightlifting.

The 2010 Winter Olympics were held February 12 through February 28 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

The Winter Olympics occur every four years. The next Winter Games are being held in the year 2014 in Russia. And of course, it is during winter :)

Until 1992, the summer and winter Olympics were held in the same year, but the decision was made to move the winter Olympics off to the other even-numbered years, beginning with the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway. That way, if you refer to, for example, "the 2014 Olympics," there is no need to specify "winter."

One of the reasons was because the games were held in Russia and it was right after the Cold War and we weren't fond of Russia at that moment.

Still finding the other reasons for it... isaac3294

There were no Winter Olympics in 2012. The United Kingdom hosted the 2012 Summer Olympics.

the first Olympics were held in Olympia not in Athens.

Different sports have different ways. For some you may have to win a competition or get a high placing in it. For others, you may have to reach a certain standard, like a minimum score, speed, distance etc.

No, as of the 2008 Summer Olympics, cheerleading is not an Olympic event but it is in the running to be one.

nopee....unfortuately not!! but it should be because it is right up there with gymnastics in the competitive and body building sports.

There are rumors going around The Feirce Boards that it will be an exhibition in 2012 and then it will be decided wehter it will be an official olympic sport or not.

There are also some rumors I have heard through friends that pronound cheerleaders Hope Bravo, Meredith Fram, and Kiara Nowlin have their eye on being a part of that team.
