Athletes from diverse backgrounds across the globe are gearing up for the upcoming Olympic Games Paris 2024, set to inspire people worldwide to embrace movement for a healthier and more joyful life. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) President expressed gratitude for partnering with the World Health Organization on this significant campaign.

"This year's Olympic Day holds special significance, occurring just ahead of Paris 2024," the IOC President remarked. The festivities will herald what promises to be an exceptional edition of the Olympic Games in the City of Light this summer. Anticipation runs high for Paris 2024, which aims to be more inclusive, urban, and sustainable, marking the first Games with full gender parity and aligned with comprehensive reforms under the Olympic Agenda.

Established in 1948, Olympic Day is celebrated globally on June 23rd each year, commemorating the founding of the IOC in 1894 by Pierre de Coubertin. With Paris 2024 being hosted in Coubertin's birthplace, this summer presents a unique opportunity to showcase the Olympics' power in uniting the world through peaceful competition.

"The Olympic Games are a testament to building bridges, not walls; they unite people in peace and solidarity," highlighted President Bach. "Sport inspires us to move, brings out our best, maintains our health, and fosters community wherever we are and however we choose to engage."

As the world prepares to gather in Paris for this momentous event, Olympic Day 2024 stands as a beacon of unity and celebration of the human spirit through sport.

Every year on June 23rd, International Olympic Day honors the establishment of the International Olympic Committee in 1894. As the Paris Olympics of 2024 draw closer, athletes worldwide are beginning to shift their attention towards the prestige and importance of the Games. However, recognizing and celebrating the Olympics during their non-competition years remains a crucial part of the Olympic spirit.
