This petition will be presented to Triathlon Australia to encourage them to induct Brad Beven into their Hall of Fame.
The Triathlon Australia Hall was established in 2009 to honour those individuals who have made a significant contribution to the sport of Triathlon in Australia.
To date, the following individuals have been inducted into the Hall of Fame.
Jackie Fairweather (nee Gallagher) , Loretta Harrop, Emma Carney, Greg Welch, Michellie Jones and Miles Stewart
I believe Brad is equally worthy of induction as he is the most successful male Olympic distance and sprint distance triathlete of all time.
