WATERBORO — The spirit of the Olympic movement will roll into Waterboro as the Passamaquoddy Lynx Wrestling Club hosts a wrestling tournament for Olympic Day.
It will take place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. June 21 at Massabesic High School, 88 West Road. The event will have wrestlers from across New England compete in a round-robin style tournament.
“We are excited to take part in Olympic Day, and inspire kids in the local community of the Olympic dream,” said Nick Hutchins. “The Lynx is proud to support the Olympic Movement and encourage children to lead healthy, active lives.”
The Passamaquoddy WC activity is one of more than 700 events taking place nationwide between June 14-30. The events, designed to engage youth and promote the ideals of the Olympic movement, feature athlete appearances, family-friendly activities and interactive learning experiences.
Around the world, more than 160 countries take part in the annual celebration. Olympic Day, created in 1948 to commemorate the birth of the modern Olympic Games, focuses on the Olympic values and ideals such as fair play, perseverance, respect and sportsmanship. In the U.S., Olympic Day events range from small gatherings to large, city-wide events.
