Speed skating at the 1928 Winter Olympics
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
At the 1928 Winter Olympics in St. Moritz, four speed skating events were scheduled, all for men. But medals were only awarded for three events, because the 10.000 m event was not completed. The Allround event, which was only organized in 1924, was removed from the program. The competitions were held on Monday, February 13, 1928 and on Tuesday, February 14, 1928.
