The Item: Sports Hall of Fame, Special Event, Legends Update
The Scoop: Just Announced: The International Sports Hall of Fame (ISHOF) inducts new honorees during the world's largest multi-sport festival, the Arnold Sports Festival in Columbus, OH, (February 28 - March 3), which, in 2013, celebrates the 25th Anniversary of the IFBB Pro Arnold Schwarzenegger Classic Bodybuilding Championships.
2013 Hall of Fame Inductees and recipients of ISHOF gold medallions: IFBB Pro Franco Columbu (World's Strongest Man competitor, Olympic weightlifter and 2-time Mr. Olympia); Archie Griffin (only 2-time winner of college football's prestigious Heisman Trophy); Earl "The Pearl" Monroe (NBA Hall of Fame basketball player); Bruno Sammartino (longest-running World Wide Wrestling Federation WWWF wrestling champion); and Blaine Carew Wilson (first 5-time consecutive USA Gymnastics national champion).
The "So What?": Formed by Dr. Robert Goldman, former world champion athlete with over 20 world records and Chairman of Sports Medicine committees in over 180 nations, the ISHOF launched in 2012. "It was time we had a comprehensive Hall of Fame, that recognized athletes of all sports worldwide," says Goldman. "For not only their remarkable contributions as an athlete during their competitive years, but also recognizing their human capacity for giving back to society through charitable works."
As previously reported in "Andrew Oye's Pro-Muscle Report," the 2012 International Sports Hall of Fame inductees: IFBB Pro Arnold Schwarzenegger (movie star, 7-time Mr. Olympia and former California Governor); Mark Henry (World's Strongest Man competitor, WWE wrestling and weightlifting champion); Randy Couture (mixed martial arts and Ultimate Fighting Championships UFC world champion); Jack LaLanne (fitness icon and legend); IFBB Pro Cory Everson (6-time Ms. Olympia); and James Lorimer (Arnold Classic/Sports Festival promoter).
Andrew Oye's Verdict: The ISHOF induction ceremony is a welcomed effort to highlight greatness in a cross-section of the diverse sports world.
