i just hope that everyone stays safe during the games. cause you know that security is going to be in HIGH GEAR.

Traditionally, they've been held in the summer months of July and August, though television has pushed it closer to late summer to (ahem) coincide with the new fall TV lineups.
Interestingly, the 2000 summer games in Sydney were held in the Southern Hemisphere's late winter/early spring. (The 1956 Summer Games in Melbourne were actually held in our winter (their summer) with the exception of the equestrian events, which were held in Stockholm, Sweden - Australia has very strict animal quarantine laws).)
