Here
in Colorado, we love our sports. And we've certainly had our share
of great athletes and great people associated with sports here in
our home state.
Whether your interest lies with great moments in
Colorado sport history, women in sports, or all things "Bronco",
you'll find plenty to enjoy at the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame
Museum. There's even a display called "MIND - BODY - SPIRIT / THE
IMPORTANCE OF SPORTS CONDITIONING" where John Elway and Amy Van
Dyken demonstrate (through photos -- sorry, they're not here in
person!) how muscle groups work together and provide injury
prevention concepts.
There are 6 key characteristics which may qualify
someone to be inducted into the Hall of Fame:
Sportsmanship - Leadership -
Courage - Sacrifice - Endurance - Power
A few of the inductees you'll find honored
here:
Bobby
Anderson, Terrell Davis, Mildred "Babe" Didrickson, Jack Dempsey,
Peggy Fleming, Rich "Goose" Gossage, Randy Gradishar, Scott
Hamilton, Bill Hanzlik, Hale Irwin, Dan Issel, Billy Kidd, Floyd
Little, Karl Mecklenburg, Robert "Red" Miller, Doug Moe, Haven
Moses, Dan Reeves, Patrick Roy, Shannon Sharpe, Bill Toomey, Amy Van
Dyken, Byron "Whizzer" White (yes, the same Byron White who served
as a Supreme Court Justice), and, of course, John Elway.
Pretty impressive, eh?
