The gongs just keep coming for Stephanie Rice, with the glamour girl of Australian sport named a list of the nation's top 100 Olympians of all time.

The list was compiled by the Australian Olympic Committee's esteemed historian Harry Gordon.

Eye-catching medley swimmer Rice rocketed to stardom this year on the back of her stunning deeds in the pool, culminating in three gold medals at the Beijing Olympics.

The 20-year-old from Brisbane was joined on the list by fellow Beijing champions such as diver Matthew Mitcham, triathlete Emma Snowsill, pole vaulter Steve Hooker and kayaker Ken Wallace.
