The Olympic Games, or Olympics, are an international multi-sport event taking place every four years and comprising summer and winter games. Originally held in ancient Greece, they were revived by a French nobleman, Pierre Frèdy, Baron de Coubertin in the late 19th century. The Summer Olympics (Games of the Olympiad) have been held every fourth year starting in 1896, except in 1916, 1940, and 1944 due to the World Wars. A special edition for winter sports, the Olympic Winter Games, was first held in 1924. The first Winter Olympics competitions were originally held as a non-olympic sport festival, but were declared to be official games by the International Olympic Committee in 1925. Originally these were held in the same year as the Summer Olympics, but from 1994 on the Winter Games and the Summer Games have been held two years apart. 3, record 4, English, - Olympic%20Games

Les Jeux Olympiques sont un ensemble de compétitions sportives organisées tous les quatre ans. Originellement tenus dans la Grèce antique, ils ont été mis au goût de l'époque et réintroduits par le baron Pierre de Coubertin à la fin du XIXe siècle; les Jeux Olympiques modernes ont lieu depuis 1896 tous les quatre ans (hormis lors des guerres mondiales). Depuis, seules la France et la Grèce ont participé à tous les Jeux. Les premiers Jeux Olympiques d'été ont eu lieu en 1896 à Athènes. Les Jeux Olympiques d'hiver ont été créés en 1924. Jusqu'en 1992, ils ont eu lieu tous les quatre ans, la même année que les Jeux Olympiques d'été (les années bissextiles). À partir de 1994, ils ont toujours lieu tous les quatre ans, mais décalés de deux ans par rapport aux Jeux d'été. 4, record 4, French, - Jeux%20Olympiques
