Lausanne, Switzerland: The International Olympic Committee (IOC), in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO), is launching the next iteration of its ongoing initiative aimed at inspiring and supporting people to move more. “Let’s Move?” shines a light on the benefits of playing sport and working out together, celebrating all the inspiration, connection and enjoyment this brings, and is the theme of this year’s Olympic Day, scheduled every year on 23 June.
At the heart of the campaign is a simple, powerful idea: to get more young people moving — and to do it together by inviting a “+1” to walk, run, dance, skip or move with them. Whether through a community event, a walk with a friend, or a shared workout, every movement counts.
As always, the International Hockey Federation (FIH) fully supports Olympic Day and urges the global hockey community to join the campaign in numbers by inviting a ‘+1’ to enjoy physical activity together — whether that’s at an Olympic Day activity or by simply asking a friend, colleague, or loved one to get active with you.
FIH President Tayyab Ikram said: “FIH is proud to support IOC’s Olympic Day and the correlated ‘Let’s Move?’ campaign. Sport promotes health. As a global sport, we have the potential to convey this message throughout the world. Therefore, I urge each and every one from the worldwide hockey community to invite a ‘+1’ and enjoy physical exercise. Let’s all be active and celebrate Olympic Day!”
