About me / Bio:
Hjalmar Andersen was a Norwegian speed skater who dominated the longer distances in the early 1950s. He won three gold medals at the 1952 Winter Olympic Games in Oslo, Norway, becoming the most successful athlete there. He also set several world records in the 5000 m and 10000 m events, and was a three-time world and European champion. He was nicknamed Hjallis and King Glad for his cheerful personality and popularity. He retired from speed skating in 1956, but remained active in sports as a coach, commentator, and organizer. He was honored with several awards and statues, and received a state funeral after his death in 2013.
