IVV Olympiad all generations
“active, together and at our own pace”
Regular exercise is also excellent for seniors, benefiting their physical, psychological and cognitive health. Based on this principle, the organisers of the IVV Olympiad also organise a Senior Olympiad, allowing older people to enjoy their favourite physical activity – walking, cycling or swimming – without any pressure, but with the sole desire to participate, meet new people, have a good time and do themselves some good. More than a traditional competition, the Senior Olympiad are above all an ode to life and movement, a moment of sharing, pleasure and encounters where every step, every pedal stroke and every dive counts more than technical skill or the stopwatch.
As with the Family Day, there are no rules, and everything is allowed. Alone, with family, friends or in a team, everyone goes at their own pace in a spirit of sharing, and enjoying short breaks to make the most of the moment.
Each participant receives a certificate, a medal and a stamped IVV passport.
