| | I have made changes to this article so that the use of the phrase "Olympiad" reflects the IOC use of the term, to refer to the four year period in which the games are held. Therefore, the 2008 Olympics are the 29th Olympiad, not the 27th, and so on. (Three Olympics were canceled due to World Wars, and one unofficial Olympics was held in 1906, during the 3rd Olympiad). If we want to change it back to straight order, that's fine, but then we shouldn't call it "Olympiads".
