Joseph F. Donoghue (February 11, 1871 in Newburgh, New York – 1921) was a speed skater. He became the first speed skating World Champion in 1891.[1] He was a member of the Manhattan Athletic Club.[2]
He skated on ice-skates with longer irons than the other skaters in his time, this gave him an advantage because he did not need to swing with his arms.[3]
