Helena Pilejczyk, is a Polish speed skater with a remarkably long career. Helena Pilejczyk is best known as Olympic Bronze Medal winner on the 1,500 m in Squaw Valley, but the length of her career might be a bigger claim to fame. Her first appearance at the Polish national Championships speed skating was - as far as we can research at the moment - in 1953, the last time she could be seen skating internationally was during the masters games of 2002, where she competed in the category for female skaters 70 years and above. In her long career she achieved 40 Polish skating records and won 37 Polish titles for distance, allround and relay race events.
