What a surprise! With less than 100 days to go until the Olympic Games in Paris, we're celebrating with a new event: on June 20, Upper Austria will spend a day playing sports with real stars.

Now it's finally out: Olympic Day will take place in Linz on June 20! On this day, Sportland OÖ, the Austrian Olympic Committee, backaldrin The Kornspitz Company, Raiffeisenlandesbank OÖ and the "Krone", together with many other strong partners, are inviting you to a top-class sporting event with free admission.

Three different locations
From 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., sports-loving children, young people and adults can play sports with real Olympians in the three locations Raiffeisen Arena, TipsArena and Olympiazentrum OÖ and prove themselves at many stations.
