The International Judo Federation (IJF), International Skating Union (ISU) and World Rugby are among the International Federations to have marked International Day of Sport for Development and Peace (IDSDP).
IDSDP has been marked on April 6 each year since 2014, having been established by the United Nations (UN) to recognise the power of sport to foster social inclusion and peace.
The event has the backing of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and April 6 was chosen as that was the first day of the first Olympic Games of modern times, held in Athens in 1896.
The IJF marked IDSDP this year by creating a portal for the judo community to upload images with a white card.

OTTAWA - Skate Canada hopes to bring the world figure skating championships to Montreal, four years after they were cancelled due to COVID-19.
Figure skating s national governing body announced Tuesday it will submit a formal bid this month to host the 2024 world figure skating championships in Montreal. Canada has hosted the event 10 times.
Canada last hosted the world championships in 2013 in London, Ont. The Montreal world championships were cancelled on March 11, 2020, less than a week before the event was scheduled to start and the same day the NBA shut down due to COVID-19. It was one of the first global events that was erased by the global pandemic.

The world championships attract more than 300 million television viewers worldwide throughout the week and features 200 skaters from 50 countries.
