André Hoffmann (born 11 August 1961) is a former German Speed skater who made a huge step forwards in the 1987 - 1988 season and won two 1500 metres races in the World Cup. It was even though highly surprising that he took gold medal in the 1500 m at the 1988 Olympics in Calgary. He beat the American Eric Flaim with six hundreds of a second and set a new world record with 1:52.06.[1]
