The Bermuda Olympic Association joins hundreds of National Olympic Committees around the world today to mark Olympic Day with online resources to promote physical activity and put a spotlight on Bermuda’s Olympians.The International Olympic Committee launched Olympic Day in 1987 to promote participation in sport by men, women and children around the world, encouraging them to “Move, Learn and Discover”. National Olympic Committees worldwide host Olympic Day events annually to provide opportunities for the public to be active, learn about Olympic values and discover new sports, as well as provide the opportunity for young people to interact with their countries’ Olympic athletes. In the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, all 2020 Olympic Day activities have been moved online.On its website, www.olympics.bm, the BOA will host a video prepared by the IOC’s Olympic Channel featuring a 25-minute workout with Olympians from around the world.
