IAAF Hall of Fame \u2013 12 legends to be inducted<\/strong><\/p>\n

Council approved the names of 12 athletes who will compose this year\u2019s induction into the IAAF Hall of Fame which was inaugurated last year as part of the IAAF\u2019s centenary celebrations.<\/p>\n

The very strict minimum criteria agreed last year to select the inaugural list of 24 members – click here for \u2018class of 2012\u2019 – was at least 2 Olympic or World titles plus at least 1 World record. This criteria was extended for \u20182013 and beyond\u2019 to allow athletes whose achievements had an \u2018extraordinary impact on our sport\u2019 to be considered as well. All members must have been retired from the sport for a minimum of 10 years.<\/p>\n

To keep the process as independent and as transparent as possible the athletes considered for each induction are proposed by the IAAF Hall of Fame Selection Panel which consists of 5 athletics historians, all long-standing members of the Association of Track and Field Statisticians (ATFS) including its President. The Panel is chaired by IAAF Senior Vice President Bob Hersh, who has himself been a member of the ATFS for more than 35 years.<\/p>\n

The 24 inaugural members inducted in 2012 will be joined in 2013 by the following dozen athletes with the ceremony taking place on Saturday afternoon (16) in the Fairmont Hotel.<\/p>\n
