Nils Göran Svensson (born Nils Göran van der Poel; Swedish pronunciation: [ˈnɪls fan dɛ(r) ˈpʰuːl];[1] 25 April 1996) is a retired Swedish speed skater who is the current World and Olympic record holder and 2022 Olympic champion in the 5,000 m event and the 10,000 m event.

[12] After the event, he donated one of his medals to Chinese political prisoner Gui Minhai to protest against human rights abuses in China.

[13] At the World Allround Speedskating Championships 2022 in Hamar, van der Poel rallied to win the biggest title missing from his resume, knocking off Dutchman Patrick Roest (the reigning champion) in van der Poel's penultimate competition before retirement from elite racing.

Van der Poel became the first Swede in 49 years to win the world men's allround – one of the most storied events in sports dating to 1893 that combines results from the 500 m, 1500 m, 5000 m, and 10,000 m over two days of racing.

[14] After his gold medals at the 2022 Olympics, he published his training manifesto and workout journal,[15] saying that he hoped that it would help others develop the sport.
