Correct Answer :   June 23

Olympic Day is a celebration of sport, health, and being together. It invites everyone around the globe to be active and move together with purpose on 23 June every year.

Participants from all over the world will commemorate the day the International Olympic Committee was founded at the Sorbonne in Paris, where Pierre de Coubertin rallied the revival of the Ancient Olympic Games on 23 June 1894.

It represents making the world a better place through sport.

Olympic Day celebrations can be traced all the way back to 1947.

Doctor Gruss, a Czech IOC member, presented the idea of a world Olympic day at the 41st Session of the International Olympic Committee in Stockholm, Sweden, which would set aside a day to celebrate everything that the Olympic Movement stands for.

A few months later the project got the nod at the 42nd IOC Session in St Moritz, Switzerland, in January 1948. The National Olympic Committees were put in charge of organising this event and the date celebrates a special moment in the history of the Olympic Movement.

What is the theme of Olympic Day 2023?

The theme of this year's Olympic Day is 'Let's Move' which aims to inspire people around the world to make time for daily physical activity.

While the world is moving faster than ever, people are moving less with research showing over 80 per cent of young people fail to reach the daily activity level recommended for optimum mental and physical health.

This 23 June is the start of a new global movement to make time to move.

"On Olympic Day, we celebrate the Olympic Movement's mission to make the world a better place through sport," said IOC President Thomas Bach..
