  INTERNATIONAL OLYMPIC COMMITTEE - ATHLETES
Hjalmar Andersen of Norway was the first man to win three speedskating gold medals at one Olympic Winter Games, when in 1952, he triumphed in the three long races (1,500m, 5,000m, 10,000m) in his native Oslo.
His winning margin in the 5,000m was an astounding 11 seconds and he also won the 10,000m by a substantial margin.
Andersen competed at the 1956 Olympic Games, finishing 11th in the 5 000 and 6th in 10,000, but then retired for good.

  H.C. Andersen - The Sandman
Hjalmar continued to sail, sometimes through woods, sometimes as it were through large halls, and then by large cities.
Hjalmar looked at the table, and there stood the little card-board doll’s house, with lights in all the windows, and drawn up before it were the tin soldiers presenting arms.
Hjalmar nodded, and then sprang out of bed, and turned his great-grandfather’s portrait to the wall, so that it might not interrupt them as it had done yesterday.

As soon as Hjalmar was in bed, Ole Lukoie touched all the furniture in the room with his little magic sprinkler, and immediately everything began to talk.
Hjalmar grasped each sugar pig as he went by, and the Princess held fast, so that each got a piece of it.
Hjalmar nodded, and ran to turn his great-grandfather's portrait to the wall so that it wouldn't interrupt them, as it had the night before.

Knut Johannesen also set a total of four world records in the course of his career, the most famous of which was his 15.46.6 on the 10,000 m at the 1960 Olympics.
Skaters Stjelbaums and Shilykovskij had earlier improved on the equally famous 1952 world record 16.32.6 of Hjalmar Andersen, but this, along with Bäckman's 16.14.2 result from an earlier pair, was the first officially recognised world record achievement since 1952.

 Vold's nr 9
Another part of Norwegian speedskating lore in connection with this event is that Werket, who was in the lead after three distances, skated against Hjalmar Andersen, and Andersen deliberately stayed behind Werket until it was obvious that the American could not beat Lundberg; only then pulling away.
Heavy Lundberg, maybe he had a chance after all, skating 19:41.0 - his lead was 21.6 seconds over Pajor and 21.2 over Broekman.
Hjalmar Andersen, newly-crowned world record holder in the fourth pair did 19:48.3.
