Rudolf Gundersen

Rudolf Gundersen (6 December 1879 – 21 August 1946) was a Norwegian speed skater.

Gundersen made his Norwegian National Allround Championships debut in 1899 and promptly finished second, an achievement he would repeat the next year.

His dominance at the European Allround Championships is illustrated by the fact that at the four European Allround Championships Gundersen participated in, he finished either first or second on every distance, finishing in first place ten times and in second place six times.

During the time that Gundersen participated in the World and European Allround Championships, silver and bronze medals were never awarded.

In addition, an overall winner would not be declared if none of the skaters had been dominant enough, as measured in the number of first places on the individual distances.
