The recommendation was approved in St Moritz at 42nd IOC Session(1948) and the date was decided as 23rd June to remark the origination of the modern Olympic Movement and the foundation of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). Austria, Belgium, Canada, Great Britain, Greece, Portugal, Switzerland, Uruguay and Venezuela were those nine NOCs which commemorated the day by organizing events in their own cities.

The day was started celebrated with the purpose to promote Olympic Movement. Even in 1978 an edition of Olympic Charter, it was suggested to all NOCs that if possible they should regularly organize this day and a 1990 edition added to organize events for a whole week to enhance the effect of Movement.

In 1987, a new concept was launched to widen the horizon of celebration all around the world, as per which the day was celebrated as Olympic Day Run for around 20 years. According to this concept, all NOCs has to organize running activities to motivate people for the same.

Different nations also contributing to the purpose of the day by organizing different events and different workshops through which a person be guided by an Olympians, inviting Olympians to motivate the common public, etc.

Hope the day provides the freedom to dream and opportunity to fulfil those dream to Olympic lovers.
