Olympic Day, celebrated on June 23, marks the founding of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in 1894 by Pierre de Coubertin, which led to the revival of the modern Olympic Games.
It’s a global celebration of the Olympic Movement and its values of excellence, friendship, and respect.
The day promotes participation in sport regardless of age, gender, or athletic ability.
National Olympic Committees (NOCs) around the world organize events like fun runs, sports exhibitions, educational workshops, and community activities to encourage people to embrace the Olympic spirit and lead active, healthy lives.
The message of the day is often summed up in the phrase “Move, Learn, Discover.”
