Talk:Jaap Eden

Untitled
Eden is the "only person to have won world championship titles in both speed skating and cycling"? Maybe if it said "World Allround Champion" in Speed Skating, but there are several World Championships in Speed Skating (Allround, Sprint, and Single Distance). All of them are World Championships titles. This makes Eden not the only one: Any thoughts? wjmt 18:16, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Sheila Young - The only person to have won World Championships titles in two different sports in the same year (1973).
 * World Sprint Speed Skating Champion: 1973, 1975, 1976.
 * World Sprint Track Cycling Champion: 1971, 1973, 1976, 1981.
 * Christa Rothenburger - The only person to have won both Summer Olympic and Winter Olympic medals in the same year (1988).
 * World Sprint Speed Skating Champion: 1985, 1988.
 * World Sprint Track Cycling Champion: 1986.


 * Only man to win world championships in speed skating and cycling, perhaps? Had a flick through the world championships list of UCI and they didn't mention any famous speed skaters (though they didn't mention Eden either) Sam Vimes 07:49, 8 March 2006 (UTC)


 * What about Beth Heiden :
 * World Allround Speed Skating Championships for Women: 1979
 * UCI Road World Championships : 1980 – a different world championship in cycling from above, but still cycling championships.
 * Other thoughts for this ? Best regards Migrant (talk) 23:35, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
