Wikipedia: World Allround Speed Skating Championships

World Allround Speed Skating Championships
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The International Skating Union has organized the world championships since 1893. From 1889 till 1892, there were unofficial championships. There were no world championships from 1915-1921 and from 1940-1946 due to World War I and World War II.

In the early years, one would win a championship by winning at least three out of four distances; second and third places did not count. That's why many championships were never decided.
