Until summer 1955 the distances considered are 500, 1000, 3000 and 5000m. Between summer 1955 and summer 1982 the distances change to 500, 1000, 1500 and 3000m. From summer 1982 the distances change to 500, 1500, 3000 and 5000m. This is consistent with the schemes followed by the World Allround Speed Skating Championships during those years.
