Reinier Paping (February 18, 1931 – December 20, 2021) was a Dutch long-distance speed skater known for winning the 1963 Elfstedentocht under severe weather conditions. Only about 100 of the nearly 9,000 participants completed the race. Growing up in Overijssel with eight siblings, he excelled in various sports and became a regional champion in speed skating. His remarkable victory in the Elfstedentocht came after battling harsh winds and extreme cold. Paping later owned a sports shop and was recognized posthumously for his contributions to the sport.
