Falko Zandstra

Falko Zandstra (born 27 December 1971) is a former Dutch speed skater.

Because of his thin legs he was also called de Gespierde Spijker which translates to the Muscular Nail.

At the World championships that year, he fell during the 1500 meters when he threw his arm band (which is used to indicate in which lane a skater has started) over his own skate.

For 49 days, from 23 January until 13 March 1993, Falko Zandstra was the leader in the Adelskalender.

Today he runs his own company in roof and wall plating called Falko Dak & Wand in Heerenveen.
