[edit] History

[edit] Distances used

• In the years 1891-1892, three distances had to be skated: 1/3 mile (536 m) – 1 mile (1,609 m) – 3 miles (4,828 m).
• In the years 1893-1895, three distances had to be skated: 500 m – 1,500 m – 5,000 m.
• In the years 1896-1935, four distances had to be skated: 500 m – 1,500 m – 5,000 m – 10,000 m (the big combination).
• In the years 1936-1947, four distances had to be skated: 500 m – 1,500 m – 3,000 m – 5,000 m (the small combination).
• Since 1948, four distances have to be skated: 500 m – 1,500 m – 5,000 m – 10,000 m (the big combination).

[edit] Ranking systems used

• In the years 1891-1892, one could only win the European Championships by winning all three distances. If no one won all three distances, no winner would be declared. Silver and bronze medals were not awarded.
• In the years 1893-1907, one could only win the European Championships by winning the majority of the distances, so there would be no European Champion if no skater won at least three distances (two distances in the years 1893-1895, when only three distances were skated). Silver and bronze medals were never awarded.
• In the years 1908-1925, ranking points were awarded (1 point for 1st place, 2 points for 2nd place, and so on); the final ranking was then decided by ordering the skaters by lowest point totals. The rule that a skater winning at least three distances was automatically European Champion was still in effect, though, so the ranking could be affected by that. Silver and bronze medals were awarded now as well.
• In the years 1926-1927, the ranking points on each distance were percentage points, calculated from a skater's time and the current European record time. Apart from that, the system used was the same as in the immediately preceding years.
• Since 1928, the samalog system has been in use.
