International Gymnastics Hall of Fame

Honoring the world's finest athletes in one of the oldest and most popular sports in the Olympic Games, the International Gymnastics Hall of Fame continues its development in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (USA). Featuring original portraits of each inductee, plus a library and video collection second to none, the Hall of Fame hosts an annual formal induction ceremony each spring. Governed by a Board of Directors made up entirely of volunteers with a wide variety of backgrounds in gymnastics and business, it is the Board of Directors that selects world famous gymnasts to be honored each year. The annual Induction Ceremony draws many visitors nationwide, as well as leaders and gymnastics fans from other parts of the globe. Gymnastics stars are honored based on not only their competitive achievements but their continuing participation in the development of gymnastics world-wide. Outstanding contributors in the "Lifetime Achievement" category may also be honored. The "International Order of Merit" is presented each year, as well, recognizing significant contributions and dedication to growing and advancing the sport at all levels.
