500 m × 2, men

What to remember

Two 500 m races, one combined time: on 14 February 2025 in Heerenveen, Dutch skater Jenning de Boo totalled 1 min 08.22 s at the 2025 Dutch Single Distances Championships.

Some events, such as the World Single Distance Championships and World Cups, include two 500 m races. The International Skating Union registers a world record for the combined result only at competitions where the final 500 m standings are decided by the total time of both races. The fastest double 500 m of an event that does not meet that condition is also noted, without counting as a world record.

De Boo is a sprint specialist. He won gold in the 500 m at the 2025 World Single Distances Championships and has won two Olympic silver medals.
