World Allround Speed Skating Championships
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The World Allround Speed Skating Championships are a series of speed skating events held annually to determine the best allround speed skater of the world. The International Skating Union has organised the World Allround Championships for Men since 1893 (unofficial Championships were held in the years 1889-1892) and the World Allround Championships for Women since 1936 (unofficial Championships were held in the years 1933-1935). Only since 1996 are the men's and women's World Allround Championships held at the same time and venue.

[edit] Notes
- ^ Kornél Pajor used to skate for Hungary until he defected in 1949. From then on the ISU allowed him to participate as an independent skater representing the ISU as he did winning the bronze medal in 1951.
- ^ From 1893 to 1907 only gold medals were awarded, and only if this participant won three at least distances. In five competitions no winner was declared
