Talk:World Allround Speed Skating Championships

NOT "Allround" !!
"Allround" is NOT a word in the English language, so never attempt to use it. That is clearly a mistranslation of some word from another language. The English phrase is all around -- or sometimes hyphenated as "all-around". An example of this usage is "Mr. Jones is the best all around player on the entire football team." Another example is "The winner of the decathlon is considered to be the best all around athlete in the Summer Olympic Games.
 * For an example outside of sports, we could have, "Colonel Schmidt is the best all around officer in the Air Force because besides his excellent leadership qualities, he is a graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy and he has his master's degree in aerospace engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. For more of his all around achievements, Col. Schmidt is also a graduate of the Naval War College of the Navy as well as Air War College of the Air Force.

Once again, the phrase is all around. 98.67.106.59 (talk) 03:28, 8 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Someone needs to tell the folks of speed skating that "allround" is not a word in English. However, "all-around" is a hyphenated word in English. I don't care what excuses or "rationalizations" that someone might dig up on the Internet.47.215.180.7 (talk) 11:16, 22 November 2017 (UTC)

No references
This article has no references. The ISU link is of no use because even after an exhaustive search I could not find any reference to these championships. I was tempted to slap a notability tag on this article because I couldn't find anything relevant on the web. But I'll give it the benefit of the doubt. RockMagnetist (talk) 15:14, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
