Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>The Gambia National Olympic Committee (GNOC) on Monday started celebrations marking Olympic Day observed across the globe every June 23. In a speech outlining the Gambian chapter\u2019s activities for the event, GNOC president Ms. Beatrice Allen said based on the theme \u201cMove, Learn, Discover, Together for a Better World\u201d, the GNOC will<\/p>\n

include all regions in the country in this year\u2019s celebrations. She further disclosed that the celebration will take the form of a five- day sports jamboree featuring athletics, basketball, karate, badminton, judo, table tennis, cycling, beach handball, beach volleyball and beach football. Participants will come from young people at schools and tertiary institutions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe event is an excellent way to encourage all people regardless of age, gender and ability to lead healthy and active lives; promote the Olympic values and the role of sports in our society.<\/p>\n

In the past, sports in The Gambia may have been viewed as irrelevant to national development but now we have all realised that it was a wrong notion. Rather, sports is something that can positively contribute to a wide range of benefits, shared values, and contribute to the personal well-being of people, and the quality of life of our diverse communities,\u201d Ms. Allen concluded.<\/p>\n
