03 July 2025 - The world celebrated Olympic Day on 23 June, with people from all corners of the globe coming together for the annual day of sport and physical activity that commemorates the founding of the modern Olympic Games in 1894. This year’s theme, “Let’s Move?”, encouraged everyone to invite a “+1” to join them in getting moving – highlighting all the motivation, joy and connection that working out and playing sport together bring.

Olympians led the celebrations, with over 400 posts shared by athletes on social media to mark the day, and a host of physical events and digital activations organised by the Olympic Movement. Over 150 National Olympic Committees (NOCs), International Sports Federations (IFs), Olympic Games Organising Committees (OCOGs) and Worldwide Olympic Partners joined the festivities, staging a wide range of events – including the traditional Olympic Day run – creating opportunities to inspire and enable people everywhere to play sport and take part in physical activity.
