		They were held in the same year as the summer Olympics until 1994, when they began to be held on separate 4-year cycles that were staggered by two years.
		Small, local festivals were being called “Olympics” as early as the 17th century in places like England and France, but the discovery of the ruins of Olympia in the 19th century sparked interest in the games once again on an international scale.
		The next two games in 1900 in Paris and 1904 in St. Louis were not as successful, however, due largely to the fact that they were included in the celebration of the World’s Fair in the same year as well as the lack of large-scale international representation.
