The Summer and Winter Olympic Games organized by the International Olympic Committee occur every four years. The Summer Olympics, more popularly known as just The Olympics is a much bigger event with 206 countries participating in the 2020 Olympics held in Tokyo in 2021. The Winter Olympics is an event on a relatively smaller scale, with 91 countries participating in the 2022 Winter Olympics in China. Even though these events occur every four years, the summer and winter events are staggered so that there's an Olympic event every two years — the Summer Olympics are held every leap year (2016, 2020, 2024), and the Winter Olympics are held 2 years after the leap year (2014, 2018, 2022).
