The IOC organises the modern Olympic Games and Youth Olympic Games, held in summer and winter, every four years. The first Summer Olympics organised by the IOC was held in Athens, Greece, in 1896; the first Winter Olympics was in Chamonix, France, in 1924. Until 1992, both Summer and Winter Olympics were held in the same year. After that year, however, the IOC shifted the Winter Olympics to the even years between Summer Games, to help space the planning of the two events from one another, and improve the financial balance of the IOC, which receives greater income on Olympic years. The first Summer Youth Olympics were in Singapore in 2010 and the first Winter Youth Olympics were held in Innsbruck in 2012.

"Not a transgender case": IOC doubles down on Algerian boxer's controversial win
The International Olympic Committee doubled down on defending their decision to allow Algerian boxer Imane Khelif, who had previously failed a “testosterone test,” to compete after a controversial win at the Paris Summer Olympics.
Spokesperson Mark Adams made it very clear that Khelif was a woman and should be allowed to compete as such.
"This is not a transgender case," the IOC spokesperson said. "Scientifically this is not a man fighting a woman and I think we need to kind of get that out," he added.
Italian boxer Angela Carini pulled out of the Olympics match less than a minute into her fight on Thursday after she sustained a series of crunching blows from her Algerian opponent.

“Testosterone is not a perfect test”: IOC official responds to Algerian boxer's controversial win
Mark Adams, a spokesperson for the International Olympic Committee, responded Thursday to Algerian boxer Imane Khelif's controversial win at the Paris Summer Olympics after it was revealed she had previously failed a “testosterone test.”
Khelif’s much-anticipated women’s welterweight fight against Italy’s Angela Carini lasted only 46 seconds after Carini was forced to stop following a powerful punch to the nose.
Khelif, 25, had been disqualified before a gold medal match at the 2023 World Championships for failing International Boxing Association (IBA) eligibility rules that prevent athletes with XY chromosomes from competing in women’s events.
“Testosterone is not a perfect test,” Adams said, adding that the controversy “involves real people.”

“Each sport needs to deal with these issues. They know there sports and their disciplines the best, and you need to target and tailor, I should say, the testing and so on with that.”
Khelif was determined eligible to compete in the 2024 Paris Summer Olympcis after the Olympic body stripped the IBA of international recognition last year over issues related to governance and finance.

The IOC organises the modern Olympic Games and Youth Olympic Games, held in summer and winter, every four years. The first Summer Olympics organised by the IOC was held in Athens, Greece, in 1896; the first Winter Olympics was in Chamonix, France, in 1924. Until 1992, both Summer and Winter Olympics were held in the same year. After that year, however, the IOC shifted the Winter Olympics to the even years between Summer Games, to help space the planning of the two events from one another, and improve the financial balance of the IOC, which receives greater income on Olympic years.
