Paralympic Hall of Fame
The IPC is currently calling for nominations for the Paralympic Hall of Fame. The launch of the Hall of Fame and its first induction ceremony took place at the time of the Torino 2006 Paralympic Winter Games. At that time two Winter Paralympic athletes (one male, one female) and one coach were the first-ever inductees to the Hall of Fame. With the Beijing 2008 Paralympic Games fast approaching, IPC invites all member organizations of the Paralympic Family to nominate their best-ever male and female athletes and coach in Summer sports.
The Paralympic Hall of Fame, presented by Visa, is a high-profile way of celebrating the great historical sporting achievements in the Paralympic Movement. Although for now it is primarily a “ virtual” Hall of Fame (ie. it is a website linked to the IPC Website), it ensures that the legacy of the Paralympic Games is recorded for posterity.
