Speed skating at the 1932 Winter Olympics – Women's 1500 metres

The 1500 metres speed skating event for women was part of the demonstration sport programme of the 1932 Winter Olympics. The competition was held on Wednesday, February 10, 1932.

Ten speed skaters from two nations competed.

Like all other speed skating events at this Olympics the competition was held in packstyle format, having all competitors skate at the same time. This was the common style in North America at that time.

No official medals were awarded.

These were the standing world and Olympic records (in minutes) prior to the 1932 Winter Olympics.

(*) The record was set in a high altitude venue (more than 1000 metres above sea level) and on naturally frozen ice.

All three runs were faster than the world record, but in packstyle format.
