The cream of Australian Paralympic sport will be celebrated at the Paralympian of the Year Awards on November 30, with competition set to be fierce following the exciting successes of our athletes at Paris 2024.
The black-tie event at RACV Royal Pines Resort on the Gold Coast will celebrate established stars who have prevailed under pressure, wide-eyed newcomers who have seized their moment, championship teams and the coaches who have guided them.
Five legends will be immortalized with induction into the Australian Paralympic Hall of Fame and the evening will also be an opportunity to recognize those who have demonstrated the best of Australian Paralympic values such as spirit, teamwork and fair play.
Australia's Paralympic athletes continue to amaze, with their extraordinary skills, resilience and passion, said Australian Paralympic Games CEO Cameron Murray.
It's great to be able to come together again and honor those who excelled at the Paris Games and in the lead up to the competition, representing Australia so brilliantly to the rest of the world.
We also look forward to adding new members to the Australian Paralympic Hall of Fame, because without the tremendous contributions of those who paved the way, the Paralympic movement in Australia would not be nearly as loved and respected as it is today.
Australia won 63 medals, including 18 gold, at Paris 2024. Among the nominated gold medalists are Qian Yang (table tennis), Alexa Leary (swimming), James Turner (athletics), Curtis McGrath (canoeing), Tim Hodge (swimming) and Nikki Ayers and Jed Altschwager (rowing).
I couldn't be more proud of the way our Australian Paralympic team performed in Paris and also the way team members behaved in such a pressurized environment, said Chef Kate McLoughlin.
The standards of Paralympic sport are rising rapidly and our team's performance to once again secure a top 10 place on the medals table speaks volumes about the athletes, their coaches and the entire network around them.
These awards are our opportunity to honor those who have excelled, but also bring together a range of athletes, officials and staff who have each made significant contributions to a mighty Australian effort.
