: Michael Phelps (swimming), Lindsey Vonn (alpine skiing), Mia Hamm (soccer), Natalie Coughlin (swimming), Muffy Davis (Para alpine skiing and Para-cycling), Pat Summitt (coach: basketball) and Billie Jean King (special contributor) lead a high-profile class of athletes, coaches and contributors named today to the United States Olympic & Paralympic Hall of Fame Class of 2022.

 The induction ceremony is scheduled for June 24 at the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Museum in Colorado Springs, Colorado (Olympic Channel).

In all, 14 individuals or teams are part of the Class of 2022, according to the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee.

“It’s a distinct honor to welcome the class of 2022 into the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Hall of Fame and to celebrate their remarkable individual and team achievements as representatives of Team USA,” Sarah Hirshland, USOPC CEO, said via the organization.

“Induction into the Hall of Fame adds to the tremendous legacies of these great athletes and teams, and also memorializes the contributions of those members of the “team behind the team” who dedicated themselves to helping Team USA achieve success on and off the field of play.”

This is the first Hall of Fame Class since 2019 and the 17th class overall inducted into the Hall. The first class was inducted in 1983. (The entire Hall of Fame membership is here).

Pat Summitt and Billie Jean King are the first female inductees in the coach and special contributor categories, respectively.

National Governing Bodies, alumni, current athletes and additional members of the Olympic and Paralympic community were invited to nominate eligible athletes, according to USOPC.

A nominating committee comprised of individuals from the Olympic and Paralympic movements narrowed the full list down to a set of finalists.

The class of 2022 was determined by a voting process that includes Olympians and Paralympians, members of the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic family, and an online vote open to the public-at-large.

This year, more than 432,000 public-at-large votes were cast across all platforms.
