In what year and in which French city were the Winter Games held, which marked the historic transition to the two-year alternation with the Summer Games?

75% of players answered correctly.

THE CORRECT ANSWER: In 1992 in Albertville

The 1992 Winter Olympic Games, celebrated with pomp in Albertville and in the magnificent Savoie region, occupy a unique place in the history of world sport. This is in fact the very last edition to be held in the same year as the Summer Olympic Games, thus breaking with a tradition well anchored since its origin in 1924.To allow the implementation of the new calendar of the International Olympic Committee providing for a biennial alternation, the cycle was modified immediately afterwards. This historic transition explains why the next Games took place in 1994 in Lillehammer, Norway, only two short years later.Albertville therefore remains engraved in memories as the glorious closing point of a bygone logistical and media era for the international Olympic movement.
