Is there going to be a "2006 Summer Olympics"?
Question:It's been mighty quiet since the world enjoyed 2006 Winter Olympics. Any word of 2006 Summer Olympics? Anybody? If someone knows, please tell me how I can find the schedule for it.
Also, I thought Oympics were held every 4 years. Why is the next Olympics in 2012 rather than 2010?

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.For 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.
Anyways, 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 next summer Olympics will be in 2008, the summer and winter Olympics are 2 years apart. They were formerly in the same year but several years ago (1992 was the last time they were the same year, 1994 was the next winter games, the summer games kept the same 4 year cycle) they were split up, presumably because the winter games were always overshadowed by the summer games.Tips for trying out for the olympic softball team?
