Do you celebrate this day ? Today is the day when Prophet Moses did split the red sea to escape Pharoas 

 

Is there a name for this holiday? Of course I know the story, but I had no idea there's people in the world who 'celebrate' it as a specific day.

What is the Day of Ashura?

There are certain days in the year which are more virtuous than others, one such day is the 10th of Muharram which is known as the Day of Ashura, falling in the first month of the Islamic lunar calendar.

The word Ashura is derived from the word “Asharah”, which means ten in Arabic.

It is believed the Day of Ashura commemorates various historical events, including the day when Prophet Moses (Musa) and the Israelites were saved from the tyranny of Pharaoh in Egypt.

Not sure where to post this, but here's a Youtube channel where two brothers attempt to perform all the Olympic events in one week. As of now, only the first two have been posted

I hope they at least know what a saddle looks like or else the equestrian part might be more difficult than diving

They obviously combined all the men's and women's events and I doubt they are going to compete in all weight classes in the combat/weightlifting events.
