It is June, which means it’s time to get outside and be active. The IOC is once again celebrating Olympic Day on 23rd June, the date that the modern Olympic Games were revived in 1894.
Olympic Day invites people of all ages and abilities to join in the fun, get moving and discover new sports.
The IOC including famous athletes such as ski stars Lindsey Vonn (USA) and Kjetil Jansrud (NOR) are encouraging everyone, everywhere to get active throughout the month. People can share their sporting moments using #olympicday for a chance to win a trip for two to Rio ahead of next summer’s Olympic Games.
