June 23 is the date that the modern Olympic Movement was founded with the establishment of the International Olympic Committee at The Sorbonne in 1894 at the call of French nobleman Baron Pierre de Coubertin. As such, June 23 is regarded as Olympic Day, with celebrations worldwide through various sport, cultural, and educational events promoted by National Olympic Committees in their respective countries around this date. The idea is to get up, get active, and get involved in exercise, sport, and fitness, all the while learning more about Olympic culture and history.
