Three OWI athletes were recognised in the 2007 Australia Day Honours list, a fitting acknowledgment of their achievements in winning Olympic medals during the past 8 years.
Zali Steggall, Steven Bradbury and Alisa Camplin were all awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM).
Steggall's honour was conferred "for service to alpine skiing, and to the community through support for a range of charitable groups".
Bradbury and Camplin were both recognised "for service to sport as a Gold Medallist at the Salt Lake City 2002 Winter Olympic Games".
Bradbury and Camplin are currently athlete representatives on the OWI Board, a position Steggall also occupied for several years.
