Lidiya Skoblikova (URS) became the first woman to win all four speed skating events in the same edition of the Winter Games, setting new Olympic records in the 500m, 1,000m and 1,500m. Only adverse ice conditions deprived her of a fourth record in the 3,000m.
I saw this rink in Innsbruck a few years ago.The fence was up around it.Lydia S. barely got to the games in Salt Lake as her visa was approved at the last min.She doesn't get enough credit of her career.
