Happy world athletics day 07 MAY 2023

Sports and athletics have always been a way to foster physical abilities, confidence, and skill development in individuals. They not only promote a positive competitive spirit but also provide entertainment to global audiences. At the national level, sports bring a sense of pride to participating countries. This day encourages people to participate in sports.

World Athletics Day was established in 1996 by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) president and Italian sports official Primo Nebiolo.

Initially,?World Athletics Day?was only for children who were members of clubs affiliated to IAAF federations. But later, the scope of this day included the participation of school children in team competitions.

The motives of celebrating World Athletic Day are-

• Promoting sports among all (particularly youngsters).
• Enhance sports activities throughout the world.
• Promote Athletics as the primary sport in schools and institutions.
• Educating youngsters about the importance of sports.
• Building a link between youth, sport, and environmental conservation.

One man practicing sportsmanship is far better than 50 preaching it, I'll be happy if running and I can grow old together.
