USOPC Inducts Williams, Felix into 2025 Hall of Fame

The United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee has announced its 2025 Hall of Fame class, headlined by track star Allyson Felix and tennis legend Serena Williams. Felix, an 11-time Olympic medalist and advocate for maternal health, and Williams, a 23-time Grand Slam winner with multiple Olympic golds in both singles and doubles with her sister Venus, are recognized for their outstanding achievements and broader impact. Other inductees include Gabby Douglas, the first Black woman to win the Olympic all-around gymnastics gold, and alpine skier Bode Miller, who won multiple Olympic and world championship golds. The Hall of Fame class also celebrates athletes such as Steve Cash, a decorated Paralympic sled hockey goalie; Susan Hagel, a multi-sport Paralympic medalist; and Marla Runyan, the first legally blind athlete to qualify for a U.S. Olympic team. The official induction ceremony will take place in Colorado Springs in July. USOPC CEO Sarah Hirshland noted that the induction honors both the athletes' performances and the contributions of those who supported their journeys.
