Every year on June 23, International Olympic Day is commemorated; it was originally honored in 1948. The Olympics, which take place every four years, are the biggest international multi-sport event in the world. Participating in various competitions and sports are thousands of athletes and sportspeople from around the world. The ancient Greek Olympian Games, which were held in Olympia from the eighth century B.C. until the fourth century A.D., served as the model for the modern Olympic Games. Greece’s Athens hosted the first modern summer Olympic games in 1896. International Olympic Day has expanded its audience since it was established and adapted to several regional specificities.
