2021 SPORT AUSTRALIA HALL OF FAME AWARDS FOR HEROES AND LEGENDS
Who will win The Don Award and the inaugural Dawn Award?
The Sport Australia Hall of Fame, the pinnacle for the very best of the best, will come to life for 2021 in a television special featuring the presentation of the new award in honour of Australia’s greatest ever swimmer, Dawn Fraser AC MBE.
Australia’s Sporting Heroes and Legends – A Celebration of the 2021 Sport Australia Hall of Fame will go to air on the Seven Network on Thursday, December 2.
The honour roll of induction into the Sport Australia Hall of Fame includes our nation’s biggest sporting names and champions, such as Sir Donald Bradman AC, Dawn Fraser AC MBE, Cathy Freeman OAM, Ian Thorpe AM, E.J “Ted” Whitten OAM, Raelene Boyle AM MBE, Wally Lewis AM, Shane Gould OAM MBE, Sir Jack Brabham AO OBE, Greg Norman AO, Lauren Jackson AO, John Eales AM, Susie O’Neill AM, Rod Laver AC MBE, Bart Cummings AM, Louise Sauvage OAM and Layne Beachley AO, among other luminaries.
This year marks the inauguration of an award in honour of Sport Australia Hall of Fame Legend, Dawn Fraser. The Dawn Award will be presented to a courageous groundbreaker who has demonstrated achievement against the odds and challenged the status quo. The recipient could hail from this generation or the past, and be either an individual, team or an organisation. Who will be presented with the inaugural award?
“It is a great honour to have this award in my name,” Dawn Fraser, AC MBE, Sport Australia Hall of Fame Legend, said.
“I was quite teary when JB (John Bertrand) asked me. I am so grateful to have the award while I am still here, this has fulfilled my lifetime dream.
“It makes it even more special that Sir Donald Bradman and I were inducted into the Sport Australia Hall of Fame in 1985 together and now we both have awards in our honour.”
This year’s Sport Australia Hall of Fame celebration will feature special interviews with some of sport’s biggest and most beloved names, including the 2021 Hall of Fame inductees and the winners of The Don Award and The Dawn Award.
Eight greats will be honoured and inducted as the newest members of the Sport Australia Hall of Fame, while two existing Hall of Fame members will be elevated to Legend status, the highest honour in Australian sport.
Bruce McAvaney OAM, Hamish McLachlan and Abbey Gelmi will host the special broadcast on Seven, which features sport’s most prestigious award, The Don Award, named in recognition of the Hall of Fame’s inaugural inductee, Sir Donald Bradman.
The Don Award is considered Australian sport’s highest honour, awarded to an athlete or team who has most inspired the nation through performance and example over the past year. Who will follow in the footsteps of previous winners including Ash Barty, the Australian Women’s T20 Cricket Team, Cathy Freeman OAM, Jeff Horn, Michelle Payne OAM, Kurt Fearnley AO and Cadel Evans AM, to claim the honour for 2021?
“It is the absolute highest honour in this country to be a Member of the Sport Australia Hall of Fame,” said John Bertrand AO, Sport Australia Hall of Fame Chair.
“It is therefore with great pleasure that we welcome eight new Australian sporting greats into the Hall of Fame. We will also elevate two existing members to Legend status, celebrate a new Don Award winner and launch our inaugural Dawn Award. Within the Sport Australia Hall of Fame, one can go no higher.
“We are thrilled once again to celebrate with all Australians these sporting superstars on the screens of Channel Seven for the second year.”
This year the public can get involved in the celebrations by voting for the News Corp Magic Moment. The most significant Sport Australia Hall of Fame moment will be won by and athlete or team from a shortlist of 20 of outstanding Australian sporting moments throughout the past 60 years.
Voting will be exclusively through News Corp mastheads, including the Daily Telegraph, Herald Sun, Adelaide Advertiser, Courier Mail, The Australian, Hobart Mercury, Geelong Advertiser, Cairns Post, Gold Coast Bulletin, Townsville Bulletin and NT News.
A News Corp Magic Moment reader prize and further details will be announced through the newspapers and websites in early November.

Seven wins big at Golden Rings Awards
Tokyo 2020 coverage collects three IOC honours
The Seven Network’s ground-breaking coverage of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games has shone bright among a field of more than 150 international broadcasters, winning three awards at the International Olympic Committee’s coveted Golden Rings Awards in Lausanne this morning.
The Golden Rings are the most prestigious awards in Olympic broadcasting and Seven was a big winner on one of international sport’s biggest stages, with its three awards topped only by America’s NBC.
With more than 100 submissions received in each of the 12 Golden Rings categories, Seven won the Gold award for Best Social Media Content/Production for its From Little Things, Big Things Grow #HomeGames campaign. The campaign received thousands of phone-filmed videos from viewers watching the Games at home, making it the highest user-generated content campaign ever for 7SPORT.
Seven also won Silver in the Best Athlete Profile category for its inspiring feature on brother and sister BMX riders Kai and Saya Sakakibara, who were both on track to compete in Tokyo 2020 before Kai suffered a serious race accident.
Seven took home Bronze for Best Olympic Feature/Documentary for its split-screen coverage of Jess Fox’s Gold Medal canoe slalom race, which simultaneously captured the emotion of Jess and her father Richard, as he commentated the race for Seven.
Managing Director Seven Melbourne and Head of Network Sport, Lewis Martin, said: “All of the athletes in Tokyo had a story to tell and we made sure those stories were told extremely well. We called on the resources of the entire Seven Network over the 17 days of Tokyo 2020 to deliver a world-class, award-winning broadcast and digital experience. Everyone at Seven played a part in these awards and should take pride in what is a huge achievement.”

They are pretty meaningless considering they gave 5 of the 12 awards to the almost universally panned NBC coverage.

Seven won the award back in 2004 and 2008 for Best Television programme. Of course, NBC takes out the honours despite what the critics say on social media.

Truly shocked me that former Socceroos captain Viduka hadn’t already been inducted! After all he did for football in this country, it’s definitely well deserved.

Supercars’ final tune-up before Bathurst 100
Sydney SuperNight live and free this Saturday and Sunday
Supercars – Beaurepaires Sydney SuperNight 4.30pm AEDT Saturday and 12.30pm AEDT Sunday Channel 7, 7mate and 7plus
The world’s greatest touring car championship, Supercars, blasts back into prime time on the Seven Network this weekend, when the stakes will be sky high at the season’s penultimate event, Beaurepaires Sydney SuperNight.
Shane van Gisbergen will be out to clinch the 2021 Repco Supercars Championship at Sydney Motorsport Park this weekend, which would cap an extraordinary year for the flying Kiwi when not even a broken collarbone and fractured ribs could slow him down.
This weekend’s two 250km Supercars races are also shaping up as crucial final tune-ups for drivers and their teams as they prepare to tackle Australian motorsport’s ultimate event, the Repo Bathurst 1000, live and free on Seven and 7plus from 3 December to 5 December.
The round’s opening Supercars race roars into action at 7.00pm AEDT this Saturday on Channel 7, 7mate and 7plus, when fans can look forward to two-and-a-half hours of elite motorsport action in prime time.
Saturday night is just part of a huge weekend of motorsport on Seven, with the live and free coverage from Sydney Motorsport Park kicking off at 4.30pm AEDT on Saturday on 7mate and 7plus, before continuing on Sunday from 12.30pm AEDT on Channel 7 and 7plus.
In addition to Saturday’s and Sunday’s Supercars races, the high-octane action on Seven will also include Supercars Top 10 Shootouts and support categories.
Fans will once again be able to watch both Supercars races uninterrupted during commercial breaks via cutting-edge picture-in-picture (PiP) technology.
Leading sports broadcaster Mark Beretta and rising star Jack Perkins will again lead Seven’s broadcast from Sydney Motorsport Park, while Australian Rally Champion Molly Taylor returns to Pit Lane reporting this weekend, following a highly successful year racing overseas that sees her leading the Extreme E Championship for Nico Rosberg’s team, RXR.
Motorsport icons Neil Crompton, Mark Skaife, Craig Lowndes and Garth Tander will also be part of the telecast.
Managing Director Seven Melbourne and Head of Network Sport, Lewis Martin, said: “It’s set to be a huge weekend of Supercars on Seven as we reach crunch time in the 2021 Championship.
“Fans will again see the world’s best touring car drivers do battle under the bright lights of prime time, while this year’s Champion could be crowned by the end of the weekend.
“After three weeks of sprint racing, teams will also be desperate to finetune their pit strategies and gain some momentum ahead of their date with destiny at Mount Panorama in two weeks’ time. The countdown to Australian motorsport’s most iconic race, the Repco Bathurst 1000, is well and truly on,” he said.
7’s Motorsport Classics
In addition to this weekend’s live and free racing, viewers will also enjoy a trip down memory lane when 7’s Motorsport Classics returns to relive some of the greatest moments in Australian motorsport, with thanks to Shannons.
Join host Jack Perkins for episode seven, The Streets of Surfers Paradise, at 4.00pm AEDT Saturday on 7mate and 7plus, when we look back at some of the great racing that has unfolded on the unforgiving streets of Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast.
Episode eight, Championship Deciders, revisits three incredible championship-deciding races that saw the title fight go down to the wire. Relive all the action on Channel 7 at 12.00pm Saturday in Adelaide, on Sunday at 12.00pm in Sydney and Melbourne, and 2.30pm in Perth, and on 7plus nationally.
Highlights package
On both race days this weekend, Seven will show a 90-minute highlights package, with viewers in all capital cities able to catch the very best action on 7plus just a few hours after the day’s racing finishes, and then on demand. Saturday’s highlights will also be shown on Channel 7 at 12.00am Sunday in all capital cities, while Sunday’s highlights will screen on Channel 7 at 12.00am Monday in all capitals.
A three-hour encore featuring both Saturday’s and Sunday’s highlights will also run in all capital cities next Monday on 7mate, starting at 1.30pm local time.
