COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – The United States Olympic & Paralympic Museum continues the Specialty Tour series on July 15 to commemorate previous members of the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Hall of Fame, generating excitement for the recent induction ceremony for the Class of 2025.
The 90-minute special discounted tour, offered daily starting at noon, will showcase exclusive memorabilia and artifacts from past and present U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Hall of Fame inductees. Guests will also be able to explore the new exhibit, Beyond the Podium: Celebrating the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Hall of Fame, spotlighting iconic Team USA Hall of Famers and legendary teams, featuring never-before-exhibited artifacts and showcasing the legacies of inductees like Herb Brooks, Billie Jean King, Jesse Owens, and James Connolly.
On the tour, guests will hear about iconic athletes like:
- Gary Hall Jr., who competed in three Olympic Games, etched his name in Olympic history by winning 10 medals in the sport of swimming, will also be featured on the tour. Due to the recent Los Angeles wildfires, his home was destroyed, melting his 10 coveted medals in the process. His burned medals are now in the World Watches Gallery, a powerful reminder of both triumph and loss.
- Trisha Zorn Hudson, the most decorated athlete in Olympic or Paralympic Games history, is featured in the upcoming Hall of Fame exhibit. The swimmer won 55 medals across seven Paralympic Games, 41 of them being gold.
- Diana Golden, gold medalist and 2006 inductee, will also be featured for her transformative career in the world of skiing, as she opened the door for athletes of all abilities.
- The “Night Train,” a four-man bobsled team, made history at the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games, taking home the gold for the first time in 62 years for Team USA, and can be found in the Museum. Pilot Steven Holcomb, pushers Justin Olsen and Steve Mesler, and brake person Curt Tomasevicz were inducted into the 2025 U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Hall of Fame.
These athletes are just a few of those featured on the Hall of Fame specialty tour, alongside many others.
The U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Museum invites guests to celebrate America’s greatest athletes and the legacies they created. Join us in honoring the past and building excitement for the new 2025 Hall of Fame Induction Class.
