Purdy won a snowboard cross silver medal at Pyeongchang 2018 and bronze in the discipline at Sochi 2014, while also achieving bronze in South Korea in the banked slalom.

The National Adaptive Sports Hall of Fame award recognises individuals who have made significant contributions to summer and winter adaptive sports in two categories - competitor and contributor.

"The award in the 'Competitor' category recognizes one individual (an athlete or coach) in summer sports as well as one individual in winter sports, who has been active in international competition," read a Move United statement.

"Race results, team participation, innovative coaching techniques, and event promotions are considered for this category."

Away from the slopes, the 43-year-old Purdy has worked with the International Olympic Committee to promote sustainability, inclusion, peacebuilding and gender equality with young people.

She has also collaborated with the World Health Organization to promote the contribution of sport on international development and peace.

Kapinowski was the summer competitor inductee and is a double Paralympian, competing in curling at Vancouver 2010 and rowing at Rio 2016.

Inouye and Kaag were honoured in the contributor category which recognises those who have had a positive impact on Para sport including innovation techniques, creating specialised equipment, programme development, education, or public relations.

Inouye won the winter award for his 30 years in the adaptive ski industry, where he has worked as a staff member for the US disabled ski team and the US Paralympics Alpine skiing team.

Former Marine Kaag was named in the summer division.

He started the "I'M ABLE Foundation" after being diagnosed with adrenomyeloneuropathy, a spinal cord dysfunction which makes mobility difficult, and discharged from military service.

The organisation has awarded hundreds of grants for adaptive equipment since 2007.
