        • Paralympic Hall of Fame inductee<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          The finalists will be narrowed down to five Olympians, three Paralympians and one team for induction into the class of 2019.\u00a0In addition to the public vote, U.S. Olympians and Paralympians and the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic family also vote on the inductees. The Olympic and Paralympic family consists of the Athletes\u2019 Advisory Council, National Governing Bodies, Multi-Sport Organizations, USOPC board of directors, members of the media, and corporate partners.<\/p>\n

          \u201cCongratulations to the athletes and teams being celebrated as finalists for the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Hall of Fame,\u201d said Dick Fosbury, U.S. Olympians and Paralympians Association president. \u201cThese individuals have already achieved so much both on and off the field of play during their careers, breaking barriers and inspiring the next generation of athletes. On behalf of USOPA, we are honored to have these individuals represent the best of Team USA.\u201d<\/p>\n

          Starting in 2019, the hall of fame will see increased Paralympic representation to reflect the burgeoning contributions of U.S. athletes to the Paralympic Movement, and now reflects the U.S. Team sizes at the Olympic and Paralympic Games.<\/p>\n

          In addition to Olympians, Paralympians and a team, the class of 2019 will include two legends, one coach and one special contributor determined by\u00a0the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Hall of Fame nominating committee.<\/p>\n

          The class of 2019 will be announced on Monday, Sept. 23, and inducted on Friday, Nov. 1, during a ceremony in conjunction with the all-alumni U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Team Reunion in Colorado Springs. Red carpet arrivals, interviews and the induction awards dinner at the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Training Center will be open to the media; credential information will be available in October.<\/p>\n

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