Edward "Eddie" Julius Schroeder (January 20, 1911 – December 1, 2005) was an American speed skater who competed at the 1932 and 1936 Winter Olympics. In 1932 he finished eighth in the 10,000 m event. Four years later he again finished eighth in the 10000 m; he also placed 12th over 1500 m and 15th over 5000 m. He was selected for the 1940 Olympic team, but the games were canceled due to World War II.[1]
Schroeder attended Tilden High School in Chicago, and won the North American all-around title in 1934. At the world championships, he won the 10000 m event in 1933, placing third in the 5000 m. He also placed second over 5000 m in 1932 and 1936, and won the all-around bronze medal in 1936. After retiring from competitions he worked as a skating coach and prepared the national team for the 1960 Winter Olympics. He was inducted into the National Speed Skating Hall of Fame in 1968, and served as a Winter Olympics torch bearer in 1996 and 2002.[1][2]
