Adelskalender is a ranking table for speed skating. Gaetan Boucher training for the 1976 Olympics Speed skating or speedskating is a form of ice skating in which the competitors attempt to travel a certain distance over the ice as quickly as possible. ...

The calendar was introduced in Norway, and means directory of nobility. It is a ranking of skaters, made from personal bests. Like in samalog competitions, the skater's time on each distance is divided in 500 metre averages and added up – the lower the sum, the better.

For example, the points for Johann Olav Koss, Norway, are calculated as follows: Johann Olav Koss (born October 29, 1968, in Drammen) is a Norwegian speed skater, considered to be one of the best in history. ...

The classical Adelskalender consists of the all round championship distances: 500, 1500, 5000 and 10000 m for men; 500, 1500, 3000 and 5000 m for women. Similar rankings in any other combination are maintained by enthusiasts and available on the Internet.
