QAS Athlete Awards
The Queensland Academy of Sport is thrilled to announce the QAS Athlete Awards, honouring the exceptional achievements of athletes, coaches, and performance support teams during the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic cycle.
Celebrating excellence
Every athlete and performance support staff member has played a vital role in our collective success across the Paris cycle. It's more than results — it's passion and dedication to the journey.
These Awards not only recognise the incredible performances in Paris but also the lasting impact of those who have reached the pinnacle of their sporting careers. Retiring Olympic, Paralympic, and National senior athletes will be recognised for the legacies they leave behind as they transition to new chapters.
The Athlete Awards is a reminder of what is possible when we are united by excellence and driven by a shared passion for success.
The QAS Athlete Awards will be presented at a gala event at the Brisbane City Hall on Friday 29 November 2024.
