description: "Louis De Ridder was a Belgian athlete who competed in ice hockey, speed skating and bobsleigh at the 1924 and 1936 Winter Olympics. His best achievement was fifth place in the four-man bobsleigh event in 1936. As a speed skater, he placed 19th in both the 500 m and 1500 m events in 1924. He was part of the Belgian ice hockey teams that finished 7th and 13th in 1924 and 1936, respectively. He won two medals at the Ice Hockey European Championships in 1924 and 1927. He is sometimes confused with Emiel De Ridder who in 1930 represented Belgium at the first recorded and recognised European Roller Speed Skating Championships on the road in his home town of Anvers (Antwerp) where he took the gold medal in all three events, however, they are different people."
