Biography Login to edit
was a Norwegian speed skater who competed in the 1950s, and later was a speed skating coach.
He was born in Drammen and represented the club Drammens SK. He placed 13th in the 500 metres at the 1956 Winter Olympics in Cortina d'Ampezzo. He also won bronze medals at the Norwegian Allround Championship in 1953, 1954 and 1957, and placed first at his favorite distance 500 metres in 1940, 1951, 1953, 1954 and 1957.
Hodt was nominated by the Norwegian Skating Union as a member of the team for the 1952 Winter Olympics in Oslo, but his selection was rejected by the Norwegian Olympic Committee due to his collaboration during the German occupation of Norway in World War II. Along with fellow speed skater Hans Engnestangen, Hodt had been one of the few leading Norwegian athletes not to follow a nationwide boycott of sports events (the "sports strike") during the occupation. The boycott had been launched by the Norwegian sports leadership in response to attempts from 1940 onwards by the collaborationist Quisling regime at nazification of all sports events in Norway.
