Johann Olav Koss

Norwegian speed skater

Johann Olav Koss belongs to the record of sport as a figure whose work outlasted the moment that produced it.

The record lists Johann Olav Koss as Norwegian speed skater.

Johann Olav Koss was born at Drammen in 1968. His recorded nationality is Norway. He was educated at University of Toronto and University of Queensland.

Modern careers are conducted in public and at speed, with reputations formed and revised far faster than the work itself changes.

He worked as physician and speed skater.

His affiliations include UNICEF.

Sport is the rare field that publishes its own evidence: the result is the argument.

Recognition followed: Oscar Mathisen Award (1990).

That the work was done from Norway matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.

Johann Olav Koss is still at work, and the final assessment has not been made - the ordinary condition of a living career.
