George Foreman, who once was heavyweight champion of the world and wants to be again, is one of seven people who will be inducted into the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame tonight in Minneapolis.

Joining Foreman will be swimmer Tracy Caulkins, figure skater Scott Hamilton, the late oarsman John B. "Jack" Kelly Sr., weight lifter Tamio "Tommy" Kono and diver Dr. Samuel "Sammy" Lee. All were gold medalists.

The late Asa Smith Bushnell, former secretary-treasurer of the U.S. Olympic Committee and commissioner of the Eastern College Athletic Conference, will be inducted in the special contributor category.

Kelly will be inducted in the Veterans Category, established in 1987 to honor athletes who competed in the Olympics before 1948.
