Significance of World Athletics Day

World Athletics Day allows schools, colleges and various other institutions to promote their students’ interests in several athletic sports, from running to shot put, which require strength and stamina. The IAAF sponsors and organises these events. However, this has been disrupted in recent times owing to the COVID-19 pandemic.

A key goal of World Athletics is to establish athletics as the top sport in schools globally in terms of participation. The federation believes schools are the best place to promote physical activity and that no other environment can compete with schools in terms of their ability to nurture and coach youngsters.

The federation believes athletics is a core sport that develops children in a well-rounded way and allows them to flourish in other physical activity, and that athletics must be made central to schools' sport programmes


Objectives of World Athletics Day

  • Popularising sports among the youth
  • Giving a boost to Athletics and making it the primary sport in schools and institutions
  • Increasing public awareness about sports and imparting education to youngsters about the importance of sports
  • To establish an important link between the youth, sport, and environmental conservation
