COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. \u2013 <\/b>The United States Olympic Committee today announced the revival of the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame, beginning with a new induction class in 2019. A new class comprised of Olympic and Paralympic athletes, legends, team, coach and special contributor will be inducted every two years thereafter.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame celebrates the incredible history of the Olympic and Paralympic athletes who have represented our country with excellence and distinction since the first modern Games in 1896,\u201d said Sarah Hirshland, USOC chief executive officer. \u201cWe are proud to honor the legacies of these athletes, along with the teams, coaches and contributors who inspired our nation on and off the field of play. With the revival of the hall of fame, their accomplishments and shining examples will live on to inspire future generations of Americans.\u201d<\/p>\n

Starting with the class of 2019, the hall of fame will see increased Paralympic representation to reflect the burgeoning contributions of U.S. athletes to the Paralympic Movement. In addition, the legend category, which honors long retired athletes, will increase to two inductees in each class and is open to Paralympians. Inductee classes will be comprised of five Olympians, three Paralympians, two legends, one team, one coach and one special contributor. The team and coach categories will also include Paralympians for the first time. The number of individual spots now reflects the U.S. Team sizes at the Olympic and Paralympic Games. Athlete working groups including Olympians, Paralympians and Hall of Fame members led to the changes for 2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to increase Paralympic inductees in the hall of fame,\u201d said Julie Dussliere<\/strong>, USOC chief of Paralympic sport. \u201cAs the Paralympic Movement continues to grow in the U.S., there is no better time to honor the legacies of our outstanding Paralympians, and to make them a prominent part of the hall of fame.\u201d<\/p>\n

The USOC also launched today a new, virtual hall of fame at TeamUSA.org, chronicling the history and achievements of all 139 current hall of fame members. Team USA fans can learn more about the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame and its members here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs an Olympian and U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame member, I am thrilled the hall of fame is returning with a class of 2019,\u201d said Dick Fosbury<\/strong>, U.S. Olympians and Paralympians Association president. \u201cTeam USA athletes, coaches and contributors pour their hearts and souls into the Olympic and Paralympic movement. Providing a platform to recognize their achievements will not only inspire future generations, but bring immense fulfillment and joy to members of the Olympic and Paralympic communities.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\u201cIt is fantastic news that the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame will be revived with a new class of 2019 and will regularly be inducting new members in the future,\u201d said Han Xiao, chair of the USOC\u2019s Athletes Advisory Council. \u201cThroughout my athletic and professional career, I\u2019ve admired generations of Olympic and Paralympic greats, and I was inspired by their examples to become the best I could be and to be an advocate for athletes. The revival of the hall of fame will provide an even larger stage for these Olympic and Paralympic stories to shine, and it is an important step to ensure past and present American athletes receive the recognition they deserve.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The nomination window will be open from Tuesday, March 12, to Tuesday, April 2. National Governing Bodies, members of the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic communities, and individuals may submit up to five Olympians, three Paralympians, two legends, one team, one coach and one special contributor in their nomination form.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame nominating committee will receive all eligible nominations and select the finalists for the hall of fame, class of 2019. Members of the nominating committee represent the following areas of the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic movements: U.S. Olympians and Paralympians Association, Athletes\u2019 Advisory Council, Paralympic sport, media, USOC Board of Directors, USOC executive and one at-large committee member.<\/p>\n

The 2019 finalists will be announced on Aug. 12, thus opening the voting window for Team USA fans, Olympic and Paralympic alumni, and members of the Olympic and Paralympic families. Members of the public will be able to vote once per day through Sept. 3. Recognizing the ongoing support that fans give U.S. Olympians, Paralympians and hopefuls in their training and competition, the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame was one of the first major sports hall of fames to incorporate fan voting into the selection process.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame, class of 2019, will be announced in late September, and inducted on Friday, Nov. 1, during an induction ceremony in conjunction with the all-alumni U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Team Reunion in Colorado Springs.<\/p>\n

Opening in early 2020, the U.S. Olympic Museum in Colorado Springs, Colo., will become the new permanent home for the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n
