Jeremy Wotherspoon

Jeremy Lee Wotherspoon (b. October 26, 1976 in Humboldt, Saskatchewan) is a Canadian speed skater.

Wotherspoon was born in Saskatchewan but grew up in Red Deer, Alberta. He first became involved in speedskating after signing up for a power skating class in an effort to improve his hockey skills. Initially, Wotherspoon competed in both short track and long track events. He eventually chose long track as a specialty and climbed through the junior ranks, moving to Calgary to train with the Canadian National Team at the age of 17.

Wotherspoon was soon winning medals on the World Cup circuit, with his first victories coming in 1997. In 1998, his arrival at the top echelon of the sport was confirmed at the Nagano Olympic Games when he won a silver medal in the 500m distance.

Since that time he has dominated the sprint events and has held world records in both the 500m and 1000m distances. He is a 4-time World Sprint Champion (1999, 2000, 2001, 2003), and a 12-time World Cup Overall Champion (500m in 1998, 1999, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005) + (1000m in 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002).

In December 2003, Jeremy became the most successful male skater in World Cup history as he claimed the 49th victory of his career.

Away from the ice, Jeremy is an avid outdoorsman and an accomplished flyfisherman.
