Since 1990, inductees to the exclusive "Roll of Honour" have been chosen annually by a trustees committee comprising representatives from athletics, media, universities and museums.
The first 'Rhodri' was awarded to the City of Cardiff for their outstanding service and commitment to sporting excellence.
"Inclusion in the Roll of Honour is for those people who, by their achievement and by their example and conduct, in and beyond the sporting arena, have brought distinction to themselves and credit to Wales."
[1] The committee of trustees is chaired by Prof Laura McAllister CBE, who took over from the former First Minister, Rhodri Morgan, in 2018 .
