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:
“In one notable instance, where the United States Army and a hundred years of persuasion failed, a highway has succeeded. The Seminole Indians surrendered to the Tamiami Trail. From the Everglades the remnants of this race emerged, soon after the trail was built, to set up their palm-thatched villages along the road and to hoist tribal flags as a lure to passing motorists.”
—For the State of Florida, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
