U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame
The US Olympic Hall of Fame is a list of the top American Olympic athletes.
The hall of fame was established by the United States Olympic Committee in 1983. A museum building had been planned, but construction has been held up for lack of funding. Therefore at this point in time, the Hall of Fame exists only on paper.
