The first Olympic Games were held in 776 B.C. At first, only one race (the sprint) was run. Later, the discus and javelin throw, broad jumping and wrestling were added. The Olympic Games were held for more than 1,000 years. They were abolished by the Byzantine Emperor Theodosius  in 394 A.D.\n\nThe Games were revived in 1896 to promote understanding and friendship among nations. The first modern games were held in Athens, Greece. Young men and women come from all over the world to compete in various sports and represent their country. They live in an Olympic Village at the site of the games

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.

This is a bit of a trick question, but the first women to compete were in Paris 1900 \n\nGames of the II Olympiad \n\nThe Games of 1900 were held in Paris as part of the Exposition Universelle Internationale - the Paris World’s Fair. The exposition organizers spread the events over five months and de-emphasized their Olympic status to such an extent that many athletes died without ever knowing that they had participated in the Olympics. Women made their first appearance in the modern Games. The first to compete were Mme. Brohy and Mlle. Ohnier of France in croquet. The first female champion was in tennis: Charlotte Cooper of Great Britain. Tennis was one of five sports in which athletes from different nations competed on the same team. The others were football, polo, rowing and tug of war. Alvin Kraenzlein won four athletics events in three days and, on 16 July, Ray Ewry, who had overcome childhood polio, won three championships in one day - all in the standing jump events.\n\n24 NOCs (Nations)\n\n997 athletes (22 women, 975 men)\n\n95 events

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.

2007\nThe Asian Football Confederation's 2007 Asian Cup finals will be held in July 2007 (Starting on July 7, 2007, ending on July 29, 2007). For the first time in its history (and perhaps in any sporting event), the competition will be co-hosted by four nations – Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam.\n\nThe Asian Cup has been held once every four years from 1956 onwards, the last of which held in China in 2004. However, as the Summer Olympic Games and the European Football Championship are also held in the same year as the Asian Cup (2004, 2008, 2012 etc.), the sporting calendar is somewhat crowded. The AFC have thus decided to change their tradition, and will be holding the next tournament in 2007, and every four years henceforth from that date.\n\nIt is the first major tournament that Australia will participate as an invitee of the ASEAN Football Federation since its move into the AFC on January 1, 2006

One of the earliest forms of soccer in which players kicked a ball around on a small field has been traced as far back to 1004 B.C. in Japan. The Munich Ethnological Museum in Germany has a Chinese text from approximately 50 B.C. that mentions games very similar to soccer that were played between teams from Japan and China. The Chinese kicked a leather ball ( hair-filled ) and it is known with certainty that a soccer game was played in 611 A.D. in the then Japanese capital, Kyoto.
