From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tristan Loy (born 11 May 1973) is a French long distance and marathon speed skater and inline speed skater.

Loy won the 120 kilometres race of the 2006 Finland Ice Marathon in Kuopio.[1] During the 2006 Six Days of the Greenery he did not win a race, nor the final classification, but he was named to be the most exciting skater of the tournament. As a result he was awarded 18 points for the 2007 Dick van Gangelen Trophy, the most of all skaters.[2]

Loy also takes part in international long track speed skating races, usually over the long distances 5000 and 10,000 metres. His performances include a second place in a B group World Cup race over 10,000 metres, with a time that was the sixth fastest at the event, faster than Olympic gold medallist Bob de Jong. The time was a personal best by more than 22 seconds, ranking him 35th in the distance all time list.[3] His personal bests are as follows:[4]
