Hall of Fame Moments

Throughout our nation's history there have been many outstanding sporting moments that collectively contribute a significant thread to the Australian sporting tapestry.

The Sport Australia Hall of Fame recognises the importance of acknowledging and celebrating these sporting moments and in 2007 introduced the 'Hall of Fame Moments'. In the inaugural year three such moments were 'enshrined' after the public voted through a national News Ltd poll.

Each year the Sport Australia Hall of Fame Selection Committee have nominated outstanding moments to be ‘enshrined’ into the Hall of Fame ‘Spirit of Sport’ exhibit at the National Sports Museum.

When considering the stature of an athlete or for that matter any person, I set great store in certain qualities which I believe to be essential in addition to skill. They are that the person conducts his of her life with dignity, with integrity, courage, and perhaps most of all, with modesty. These virtues are totally compatible with pride, ambition, and competitiveness.
