Patrick Roest

Patrick Roest (; born 7 December 1995) is a Dutch professional long track speed skater who has won the World Allround Speed Skating Championships three times. He is placed second in the adelskalender, an all-time ranking of skaters' personal bests. He is a member of the commercial team of Team Reggeborgh.

Career In Bjugn Municipality, Norway, in 2014, Roest became World Junior Champion Allround, and he successfully defended his world title in 2015 in Warsaw, Poland.

On 12 November, he was part of the Dutch team that won the team pursuit event at the first World Cup of the 2016/17 season.

Roest was awarded the KNSB Cup for his 1500 m performance at the KNSB Cup in October 2016.

On 13 February 2018, Roest won a silver medal at the 2018 Winter Olympics for the Men's 1500 metres, behind compatriot Kjeld Nuis, with a time of 1:44.86. He also won an Olympic bronze medal in the team pursuit event.

From 3 March 2019, Roest held the world record of the allround big combination classification, having amassed 145.561 points at the World Allround 2019 Championship in Calgary. His record was later surpassed by Jordan Stolz in 2024.

Roest did not qualify for the 2026 Winter Olympics and said it was too much mental effort to continue competing. Despite the recent disappointment, Roest signed a one-year contract extension with Team Reggeborgh in May 2026.
