Vasili Ippolitov, from Moscow, came from a family of 5 brothers, of which 2 became famous speed skaters, among the best in the world in the period 1912-1914.
Ippolitov's parents had five children, all sons. Growing up, Ippolitov started speed skating one day while helping his father. He tested the skates that his father had repaired for someone and found that he enjoyed skating very much; soon the young Ippolitov got his own pair of skates.
In 1913 and 1914 Ippolitov and Oscar Mathisen were the big rivals, and they had many great duels. Mathisen won most of these, but Ippolitov managed to beat him at the European Championships 1913 in St.Petersburg. Mathisen beat him at the World Championships one week later. Mathisen also beat him at both the championships in 1914. At all four occasions Ippolitov beat Mathisen on the 10000 m. He was national champion in 1911 and 1923. In 1923 he also became national champion in cycling.
His younger brother Platon was also an international level speed skater, and they often competed in the same championships. His son Igor Vasilyevich Ippolitov Игорь Васильевич Ипполитов also excelled in sports, both in speed skating (four podium positions in the national championships 1943-1947), cycling (national champion 1939) and swimming.

Dr. Robert Fitzgerald, who fought to keep the practice of chiropractic
limited to the adjustment of patients' bones using the speed and force
of the doctor's hands, died April 22 in Luverne, Minn., of complications
from a stroke he had in 1998. He was 81.
Fitzgerald, a longtime Twin Cities resident, was a national champion
speed skater in his youth and won a silver medal in the 1948 Olympics.
He got involved in speed skating because it was a way to travel and get
three square meals a day during the Depression, said his wife, Dr. Judi
Fitzgerald, also a chiropractor. They married in 1983.
He won national speed-skating championships in every class from juvenile
to senior, and in 1946 was North American and U.S. senior champion. He
had been a candidate for the 1940 and 1944 Olympics, both canceled
because of wars. In the 1948 Olympics in St. Moritz, Switzerland, he
tied for a silver medal in the 500-meter event. In the 1952 Games in
Oslo, Norway, Fitzgerald, already a doctor of chiropractic, placed 15th.
He credited chiropractic with putting him back on his feet after a back
injury that resulted in a medical discharge from the Army in 1944. He
had enlisted in 1942 to fight in World War II.
For decades, he was a vocal opponent of any style of chiropractic that
departed from the philosophy of straight chiropractic, "that you use
your hands to adjust a subluxation [slight dislocation of a bone]. That
influences the nervous system in a big way," said Judi Fitzgerald, who
joined her husband's practice in 1988.
In 1959, he was removed from the board of the Minnesota Chiropractic
Association in part because of differing opinions on the limits of
chiropractic practice. He argued that state chiropractors were engaged
in unauthorized practices, such as physical therapy, which he said were
the function of medical doctors and specialists. He joined the rival
International Chiropractic Association.
In 1975, he sued the Minnesota group, claiming that articles about him
in its newsletter were libelous and had damaged his practice. The suit
ended in 1980 with a decision from the Minnesota Supreme Court that said
that Fitzgerald, as an Olympic medalist and a legislative lobbyist, was
a public figure. As such, he could not be libeled unless there was a
showing of "actual malice" by the writer.
Fitzgerald was still practicing chiropractic in 1998 when he suffered a
debilitating stroke, his wife said.
In addition to his wife, survivors include sons Patrick and Michael, and
daughter Kathleen, all of the Twin Cities; daughter Susan of Iowa;
stepdaughter Shannon of the Twin Cities, and six grandchildren.
Services are pending.
Even though American, allowed to participate in European Championships. Because member of a European skating club. From 1936 to 1948 this was allowed.
