Anne Elizabeth Henning (born September 6, 1955) is a retired American
speed skater
. She grew up in
Northbrook, Illinois
, and started in
short track speed skating
, but then, like many short track speed skaters before and after her, switched to long track speed skating. In 1971, 15-year-old Henning won silver at the
ISU Sprint Championships
, the forerunner of the World Sprint Championships. During those championships, she set new world records in both her 500 m races.
In 1972, Henning broke the world records on the 500 m and the 1,000 m, which made her the favorite on those distances at the
1972 Winter Olympics
in
Sapporo
. During her 500 m race against
Sylvia Burka
at those Olympics, Henning was obstructed at the crossing by Burka, but she still set the fastest time and a new Olympic record (43.70). In her re-skate, which she was allowed to take according to the rules, she improved her time to 43.33. Aged 16, this made Henning the youngest Olympic Champion in the history of Olympic speed skating. On the 1,000 m, Henning took the bronze medal behind surprise winner
Monika Pflug
and only 0.01 seconds behind silver medallist
Atje Keulen-Deelstra
. After that season, a still only 16 year old Henning retired from speed skating. She said, “People know about speed skating, that was not part of the game when I won my medals. I wanted to go to college and see what else I could do."
Anne Henning is a retired fourth grade teacher in
Aurora, Colorado
.She has 3 grown children and 5 grandchildren. She is married to Erik Palmer and resides in Aurora, Colorado.
