Fred Dix was a speed skating pioneer in the UK, when the sport changed from the popular fen skating on East Anglia’s frozen meadows to modern speed skating. Dix was the Amateur Fen Skating Champion in 1908 and 1912. During this time, however, he also competed internationally, at the 1908 World Championships placing 10th and the 1913 European Championships placing 9th. Before World War I, he also held world record over distances typical for the fen skating including the straight mile. His daughter Joan became a champion figure skater and placed 10th at the 1932 Olympic Winter Games.
