How it all started
23 June marks Olympic Day - an important day in the history of the modern Olympic Games. On 23 June 1894, Baron Pierre de Coubertin, a French pedagogue who was convinced of sport's moral and educational value, began the task of reviving the Olympic Games. He set up a committee in charge of organizing the first Games and created an international Olympic Movement. Hence the first Games of the modern era were staged in Athens in 1896 and the International Olympic Committee was officially created. Back then nobody could have imagined how big the Olympic Movement would become.

Olympic Day Run - get everybody moving
For the last 20 years, National Olympic Committees (NOCs) around the globe have celebrated this day by organizing an Olympic Day Run, amongst other events. The NOCs organize various sports, educational and cultural activities around 23 June.
