Cross-country skiing was a major event at the first Winter Olympics, held at Chamonix, France, in 1924. Only men were eligible to participate, however, and the only events were 18km and 50km races. In 1936, a 4x10km mixed relay (2 classical and 2 freestyle legs) was added. Women finally appeared on the scene at the 1952 Winter Games in Oslo, in a 10km classical race.

This may suprise you, but it has gone out before. During the opening ceremony of the 1956 Winter Olympics (also in Italy), the speed skater bringing the Olympic Flame into the stadium tripped over a cable and went crashing to the floor, breaking the torch at the same time.

Short Answer every Two years - Summer every four, Winter every four. \n\nLong Answer - The Summer Olympics have been held every fourth year starting in 1896, with the exception of the years during the World Wars. A special edition for winter sports, the Olympic Winter Games, were established in 1924. Originally these were held in the same year as the Summer Olympics, but from 1994 the Winter Games and the Summer Games are held two years apart.

Seems like you're a few decades behind!  I'm not sure of the exact date, but the world used to host the Olympics every four years, and both Summer and Winter Games would be in the same year.  \n\nFor example, during the Cold War, the 1980 Olympics were held in Lake Placid (winter) and in Moscow (summer) later that year.  There was some controversy because the Easterners (Russia, Czechoslovakia, Ukraine, etc.) talked about boycotting the Lake Placid games, and President Carter talked about retrobuting by boycotting the Moscow games.  Something like that.  \n\nAnyways, since then, the schedule has changed, and the Olympics are every two years.  The seasonal games, like the summer games, are held every 4 years.  The schedule is: Beijing 2008(summer), Vancouver 2010(winter), and London 2012(summer).  Check out the links below for more info. (there are links to each of the sites from olympic.org)

The first Olympics took place around at least 776 bc in Greece (though this is disputed by historians; the true date may, in fact, be earlier).  They were held every 4 years for 12 centuries.  The first modern Olympic games were held in 1896 in Athens.

Freestyle skiers are the adventurous athletes of the Olympic Winter Games. The Freestyle Aerialists fly into the air from specially designed ski ramps. There they perform acrobatics 50 feet in the air. Freestyle Mogul skiers seek speed and style while they race between and over mounds of snow. These freestyle events are fairly new to the Olympic Winter Games. At Deer Valley Resort in 2002, the moves and tricks will be better than ever.
