“In recognition of the contributions women’s sports have made to this country, and of the need to further advance women’s sports, the Congress, by Public Law 99-540, has designated February 4, 1987, as “National Women in Sports Day” and authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this event. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States do hereby proclaim February 4, 1987, as National Women in Sports Day.” (Wikipedia)

However, NGWSD was originally initiated in 1987 as a day to honour Olympic volleyball player Flo Hyman for her achievements and work for equality. Hyman died suddenly of Marfan’s Syndrome in 1986 while competing in a volleyball tournament in Japan.

“On National Girls and Women in Sports Day, I’d like to honour all female athletes, past and present who are paving the way for future generations. As a mom of two girls in sport, I value that they have learned hard work, teamwork, and self-confidence. Let’s continue to encourage and inspire each other and seek opportunities to help our female athletes reach their full potential and prove that females CAN take it to the next level!”
