All fifteen Elfstedentochts and their winners (1909–1997)

The top 3 according to 46 votes from people: 1912: Coen de Koning · 1917: Coen de Koning · 1909: Minne Hoekstra. (Updated Nov 14, 2023.)

From Minne Hoekstra in 1909 to Henk Angenent in 1997: the winners of all fifteen Elfstedentochts, the almost 200-kilometre skating race past the eleven Frisian cities that only goes ahead when the ice is strong enough everywhere. In 1940 five skaters crossed the line together; in 1956 nobody was declared the winner.
