Today on 23 June it’s the Olympic Day featuring the world’s biggest Olympic workout. The annual celebration and Olympic values brings together Olympians from around the world who you can join in live workouts including Natalie Spooner of the Canadian women’s national ice hockey team.

23 athletes will hold live workouts at 11:00am in their time zone. Spooner’s turn is at 11am Mountain Time (1pm ET, 10am PT, 19:00 Central European Time, 20:00 EET/MSK) on the Instagram account @Olympics.

Other Olympic champions take part ranging from Kenya’s 1500m gold medallist Faith Kipyegon, to France’s most decorated Olympian of all-time, Martin Fourcade, teamed  up with Tokyo 2020 hopefuls such as Dina Pouryounes, a taekwondo athlete hailing from Iran aiming to represent the Olympic Refugee Team, and the USA’s 13-time Paralympic gold medal-winning swimmer Jessica Long. (The full list of athletes can be found below.)

In addition, 23 other athletes joined a compilation workout showcasing their favourite moves in this video:

The Olympic Day has been held annually since 1948 and commemorates the birth of the modern Olympic Games on 23 June 1894. This year will be special due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which makes it even more important to stay active and strong like our ice hockey players in this video who missed out on a chance to play the IIHF Ice Hockey Women’s World Championship this year:
