The annual Elevation of one Member to 'Legend' status within The Sport Australia Hall of Fame is the most prestigious sporting honour that can be bestowed on an Australian.
Elevation provides the opportunity to celebrate and honour a Member who has distinguished themselves at the absolute highest level and whose achievements are considered part of Australian folklore. And importantly, this public recognition provides the opportunity to re-tell their remarkable story and inspire a whole new generation of Australians. As of February 2019, 40 Members have been recognised as 'Legends of Australian sport'.
Must be 15 years retired for selection of a SAHOF Member to be Elevated to the category of official 'Legend of Australian Sport'.
