Kalon Dobbin is one of the most influential and successful personalities in the world of skating, both on ice and on wheels. As an athlete and as a coach, he has left a significant mark in both sports.

• Born November 23, 1977, NZL

• Eight-time world champion, 36 world championship medals on inline skates

• Coached several athletes at the Olympic Games (ice speed skating).

• National coach of Swiss Speedskating since 2011

After his career as an inline skater, Kalon has proven that he is an exceptional leader. He has worked for Arena Geisingen as head coach since 2014 and has led over 20 athletes from this Arena Geisingen team to world championship titles on wheels and ice. Remarkably, he has achieved many of these successes with athletes from “small” nations with limited resources. What also sets Kalon apart is his exceptional eye for detail, not only in terms of movement efficiency, but also in terms of material. This passion for innovation also makes him an expert in product development.

Livio Wenger is the most successful Swiss inline and ice speed skater to date. He was the first athlete in Switzerland to successfully bridge the “gap” between wheels and ice. He came fourth in the mass start at the 2018 Winter Olympics and was the first Swiss speed skater ever to win a medal at a world championship.

• Silver at the 2017 World Games in Wroclaw (Poland)

• Bronze at the 2024 World Speed Skating Championships in Calgary (mass start)
