Timeline

1971

Gerard Pieter Hendrik van Velde (born 30 November 1971) is a Dutch retired speed skater who specialised in sprinting.

1990

Van Velde was considered the best Dutch sprinter during the early 1990s, but did not manage to win a medal in either the 1992 or 1994 Winter Olympics.

During the late 1990s, clap skates became standard in Olympic competition.

Van Velde had such difficulty adjusting to the techniques required with these new skates that he retired from skating and became a car salesman.

However, he was not finished with the skating world.

Rintje Ritsma, another Dutch skater invited Van Velde to be his training partner, and, during training, he mastered the clap skate techniques.

1992

Particularly frustrating were the 1992 Games, where he missed a bronze medal by one-hundredth of a second.

2002

He won an Olympic gold medal in 2002.

He decided to try out for the 2002 Winter Olympics, in spite of the arrival of a new generation of Dutch sprinters such as Jan Bos, Erben Wennemars and Jakko Jan Leeuwangh.

Van Velde became the fourth sprinter to qualify for the games.

In Salt Lake City, he started before all the other favorites and raced to a world record finish.

His time of 1:07.18 shaved more than half a second from the previous best world time, and more than a second from his personal best.

The skaters who followed were unable to best him, and he won the gold medal.

2005

In December 2005, at the Dutch Olympic trials in Heerenveen, van Velde failed to qualify for the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin.

In retirement he became a coach.
