Legend Judy Hashman has been invited to the opening of the new 'home' of the international Women's Sports Foundation.

This involves housing the International Women's Sports Hall of Fame within the Billie King International Women's Sports Centre which is now part of the Sports Museum of America.

The Museum will open in early May "dedicated to the celebration of all sports and their significance in our lives and culture".

Hashman was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1995 and remains the only badminton player - among hundreds of pioneers, players and coaches - to be so honoured.

This year's ceremony takes place in New York on June 8 and 9 and all Hall of Famers have been invited.
