The speed skating race at Frognerkilen in 1885 was a duel between Norwegian skater Axel Paulsen and Dutch skater Renke van der Zee.
The race took place on the fjord ice on the bay of Frognerkilen, Kristiania, on 26 February 1885.
Paulsen had been named "amateur champion of the world" following a series of victories in the United States in 1883 and 1884, and he was challenged by Dutch skater van der Zee.
The competition was met with huge interest from the local population.
Paulsen won the race, finishing about one minute ahead of van der Zee.
