INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (May 6, 2025) – Three-time Olympic champion Gabby Douglas highlights 14 inductees who will comprise the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Hall of Fame’s Class of 2025, the USOPC announced Tuesday.
Joining Douglas at the July 12 induction ceremony in Colorado Springs are Steve Cash (sled hockey), Anita DeFrantz (legend: rowing), Allyson Felix (track and field), Susan Hagel (Para archery, Para track and field, wheelchair basketball), Flo Hyman (legend: indoor volleyball), Kerri Walsh Jennings (beach volleyball), Mike Krzyzewski (coach: basketball), Phil Knight (special contributor: Nike founder), Bode Miller (alpine skiing), Marla Runyan (Para track and field), Serena Williams (tennis), the 2010 Four-man Bobsled Team, and the 2004 Women’s Wheelchair Basketball Team.
At the age of 16, Douglas made history in 2012 when she became the first Black woman to win all-around gold at the Olympic Games in London. She also claimed team gold in London, becoming the first American to win both all-around and team gold at a single Olympics, and went on to win another team gold at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
In addition to her Olympic legacy, Douglas is a two-time World Championships team champion (2011, ’15) and all-around silver medalist (2015), giving her six medals at the highest level of international competition. She was inducted into the USA Gymnastics Hall of Fame in 2017.
National Governing Bodies, alumni, current athletes and additional members of the Olympic and Paralympic community were invited to nominate eligible athletes. From there, a nominating committee comprised of individuals from the Olympic and Paralympic Movement narrowed down the pool of nominees to a set of finalists. The Class of 2025 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 fans. The U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Hall of Fame was one of the first national sports halls of fame to include fan voting as part of its selection process, and this year, nearly 300,000 votes were cast across all platforms.
