1920 and 1956 Olympics were the only two instances when Events of the same Olympics were held in two different countries.
1920 - Antwerp olympics , finals of the sailing event was held in the Netherlands as the only two competitors were from that country.
1956 - Equistranian event was held in Stockholm instead of Melbourne due to quarantine regulations.

The funda is Equestrian Events held at different countries (or two different continents) than the host country. During the 1956 Melbourne Olympics, the Equestrian Events were held at Stockholm, Sweden because of strict quarantine requirements of China. Again in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the Equestrian Events are being held at Hong Kong, due to high levels of equine disease in Beijing. Hong Kong was chosen the site, because it has high standards of quarantine for horses (due to the horse racing industry)
Had posted the question in a different setup on my blog
