Henk Angenent

Henk Angenent (born 1 November 1967 in Woubrugge) is a Dutch speed skater, specialising in marathon skating and the longer distances. On 12 March 2004 in Calgary, Angenent skated 41.669 km in one hour, which was the world record in this event until 15 March 2007, when Casper Helling skated 300 metres more. The previous world record was Roberto Sighel's 41.041 km from 24 March 1999. Angenent won the Elfstedentocht on 4 January 1997, outsprinting favourite Erik Hulzebosch at the finish. He won a 4th place at the 10,000 metres of the 2003 World Single Distance Championships, after Bob de Jong, Carl Verheijen, and Lasse Sætre. Earlier that year he became Dutch champion on the same distance at the KNSB Dutch Single Distance Championships.

Angenent also grows his own vegetables, mainly Brussels sprouts. After winning the Elfstedentocht many interviews were done with Angenent and this subject came up on many occasions. When marathon speedskating became more popular in the Netherlands and the Six Days of the Greenery were introduced, the overall leader of the race wears a brussels sprout suit. So far he wore the suit himself once in the 2000-2001 season.

He is however 3rd in the ranking of still active skaters, behind Jan Maarten Heideman and Cédric Michaud.
