For N greater than or equal to 195, Olympiad N began in AD and ended four years later. By extrapolation, the 1st year of the 701th Olympiad begins roughly around 2 August 2025. In reference to the modern Olympics, their Olympiads are four year periods beginning on January 1 of the year of the Summer Games. Thus, the modern Olympiad I began 1 ...
