Olympic Questions

In Room 15 we have been learning about the Olympics. Mrs Larsen gave us 2 questions to answer, this is mine.

How do they decide where the next Olympics are held?

Countries put their name in for consideration. Then they have to show that they can provide the necessary facilities or have the backing to finance the buildings of the necessary facilities. The Olympic committee then considers the various offers along with considering the transport facilities and travel facilities, along with the safety of the city/country.

Have the Olympics been held every four years since they started Why/ Why not

No because they had to stop the Olympic games being held during the world wars because of safety risks. WWI was from 1914 to 1918 and WW2 was from 1939 to 1945. If it did happen in the world wars suicide bombers might go into arenas and because they have huge amounts of people, it could kill thousands of people.
