Chad Hedrick is an American inline and ice speed skater, born on 17 April 1977 in Spring, Texas. On inline skates he developed the double push technique and won 93 national and 50 world championships, with a brand of inline wheels named after him. After watching Derek Parra win an Olympic medal on television in 2002 he switched to ice, won the 2004 World Allround Championships and went on to set six world records. At the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin he won the 5000 metres, beating Sven Kramer, and his public dispute with Shani Davis over the team pursuit became a controversy of those Games. He led the Adelskalender all-time ranking from November 2005 to 2007.
