The Modern Olympic Games started in 1896 in Athens.  The Centennial Olympic Games would have taken place in 1996 (Atlanta).  If I remember the story correctly, Athens originally won the bid for the '96 games but couldn't get their act together so they lost them to Atlanta.  Then they went back and got the '04 games

The proceduce for choosing an Olympic Host City is as follows:\n\nEight years prior to the Olympics a city wishes to bid for they submit an application form to the IOC saying "We wish to bid for the Olympic Games of such a year". Then the IOC asks the cities that have expressed an interest to convince them to give the Olympics to them. This process lasts up to 18 months before about 6½ years before the Olympics itself, the IOC meet in Congress to elect the host of the Olympics

1992 marked the last time that the Winter and Summer Olympics were held in the same year... Albertville, France for Winter and Barcelona, Spain for Summer.  \n\nTwo years later in 1994, the Winter Olympics appeared in Lillehammer, Norway... and then every four years after that (1998- Nagano, Japan; 2002- Salt Lake City, USA; 2006-Torino, Italy; 2010- Vancouver, Canada). \n\nIn 1996, the Summer Olympics appeared in Atlanta, USA... and then every four years after that (2000- Sydney, Australia; 2004- Athens, Greece; 2008- Beijing, China).\n\nSo, if you just watch the Winter or just watch the Summer... then you get a veiwing every four years.  However, you do have the opportunity to watch an Olympic Game every two years.

New York is in the early stages for bidding for the 2016 Olympics. The thing that beat them last time was the unworkable stadium in Manhattan. Now, Queens is trying to get NYC back in the hunt. Plus, I would keep checking the US Olympic Committee Website because they nominate which city the US will put up to the Intern'l Olympic Committee,
