Notable Skaters
The following is the list of athletes who have won the following competitions at least three times. Those who won two individual Olympic Gold medals are also included.
- Olympic Winter Games
- World Allround Speed Skating Championships
- World Sprint Speed Skating Championships
As its inclusion will place the athletes who have been active before 1996 at a significant disadvantage, World Single Distance Championships are not included as a primary component of the list, though achievements in that competition are noted when applicable. Also see List of long track speed skaters.

Famous quotes containing the word notable:
“Every notable advance in technique or organization has to be paid for, and in most cases the debit is more or less equivalent to the credit. Except of course when it’s more than equivalent, as it has been with universal education, for example, or wireless, or these damned aeroplanes. In which case, of course, your progress is a step backwards and downwards.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
