University sport is steeped in history, and Australia has produced many champions since the inaugural World University Games held in Paris in 1923.

In 2010, Australian University Sport recognised these athletes by establishing the Australian University Sport Honour Roll. 

This Honour Roll includes two categories - champions and medallists.

Champions are masters in their chosen sport and are athletes who have competed and won multiple medals (including one gold) at a single event, or multiple medals at more than one World University Games or Championship event.

Medallists are an elite group of athletes that have won a medal at a World University Games or Championship event.

Please browse this section of our website to read all about these students, both past and present, who have represented their university and their country in their chosen sport.
