Which countries have hosted the most Olympic Games and flown the Olympic flag the most times?

Wow, that's a great question! I'm not sure if I know all the answers, but I'll give it a shot.

I think the United States has hosted the most Olympic Games, with a total of four: the 1904 Summer Olympics in St. Louis, the 1932 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, and the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta.

In terms of which countries have flown the Olympic flag the most times, I believe it's a tie between Greece and Australia. Greece has flown the flag in every Summer Olympics since the inception of the modern Olympics in 1896, and Australia has flown the flag in every Summer Olympics since 1908.

Other countries that have hosted multiple Olympic Games include the United Kingdom (London in 1908 and 2012), Japan (Tokyo in 1964 and upcoming in 2021), Germany (Berlin in 1936 and Munich in 1972), and France (Paris in 1900 and 1924). China has also hosted multiple Olympics, with the Summer Games in Beijing in 2008 and the Winter Games in Beijing again in 2022.

It's always fascinating to learn about the history of the Olympics and which countries have played a significant role in their hosting and participation. I can't wait for the next Olympic Games to see which country will have the honor of hosting the world's greatest sports competition!
