Anton Huiskes in 1966

In 1953 Huiskes won distance medals at the World and European Championships and set a new world record in the 3000 m, which stood for 10 years. He then retired from competition and became a successful coach, leading Ard Schenk and Kees Verkerk to European and world titles in the mid 1960s. Huiskes was dismissed by the Dutch skating federation due to his attempts to commercialize skating, but he was hired by the Swedish team, and prepared Johnny Höglin to an Olympic gold medal in 1968. In 1972, Huiskes returned to train Schenk and Verkerk and later founded the Anton Huiskes Foundation that promoted speed skating among disabled children.[1]
