- International Sporting Wall of Fame
The International Sporting Wall of Fame is physically located within the head office of Infostrada Sports in Nieuwegein in the Netherlands and was launched in January 2008 with the unique aim of selecting 500 of the best sportsmen and sportswomen across a vast array of sports. Four pairs of sportspeople (ie Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean) were chosen which means there are 504 people on the Wall of Fame.
