Korn�l Pajor skated for Hungary until he defected in 1949. From then on, the ISU
allowed him to participate as an independent skater representing the ISU, as he did
winning the bronze medal in 1951.
From 1889 to 1907 only gold medals were awarded: to win the gold medal, an athlete
was required to win at least three of the distances. In seven competitions, no
winner was declared due to this rule.
