One of the special attractions of the 2025 Olympia Weekend will be the International Sports Hall of Fame induction ceremony. The ISHOF will induct six legends from multiple sports and disciplines, including Figure Olympia champion Cydney Gillon, football great Fred Biletnikoff, Grandmaster Bill Wallace, renowned agent Leigh Steinberg, Olympic shot-put gold medalist Ryan Crouser, and basketball icon Nancy Lieberman.<\/p>\n

Lieberman, better known to many basketball fans as \u201cLady Magic,\u201d<\/a> is to many generations of fans what current era superstar Caitlyn Clark is to those that watch the WNBA today. The two-time women\u2019s national champion of Old Dominion University was also a part of the American team that took gold at the 1975 Pan-American Games. She added another gold medal to her trophy case as a part of the 1979 world championship team.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s players benefit from the groundwork that Lieberman helped build for decades, including playing in men\u2019s leagues, the early days of the WNBA itself, and even as an award-winning coach, including as a two-time BIG3 Coach of the Year. Athletes of this era are fortunate to have Lieberman as a mentor, and she loves being in that role.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s in my DNA, that\u2019s what makes me happy,\u201d she said proudly. \u201cI love being able to inspire people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
