Krzyzewski, who amassed a record of 1,129 wins with the Duke Blue Devils, passed the coaching role to Jon Scheyer, who has continued the program's success.

Reflecting on his retirement, Krzyzewski expressed that while he misses the interaction with young players, he feels it was the right time to step aside.

Allyson Felix, recognized for her record 11 Olympic medals in track and field, is also honored in this class, highlighting her extraordinary career.

Among the notable inductees is Mike Krzyzewski, who led the men's basketball team to Olympic gold medals in 2008, 2012, and 2016.

Fans have taken to social media to express their admiration for Krzyzewski, celebrating his legacy as both a coach and a person.

Serena Williams, another inductee, is celebrated for her four Olympic gold medals and her significant impact on tennis.

The selection process for this Hall of Fame class involved nominations from various stakeholders and a public vote, with nearly 300,000 votes cast.

This marks the first Hall of Fame class inducted since 2022, bringing the total number of inductees to 210 since its inception.
