The campaign also featured a variety of entertaining programmes for kids and adults, as Corporate Communication Directorate representatives Fajer Jassim, Dalal Salama, Khalid Haji and Mohammed Al Koohej briefed the crowd on the International Olympic Day and the Olympic movement principles.

Also present were BOC board members Shaikha Hayat bint Abdulaziz Al Khalifa and Shaikh Ali bin Khalifa Al Khalifa, BOC acting general secretary Abdulrahman Askar, committee directors and other senior officials.
