The world record progression of the 2 times 500 meter men as recognised by the International Skating Union:[1]
Some international skating events, such as World Single Distance Championships and World Cups, may include two races of 500 meters. A world record will be registered by ISU for the combined result of the two 500 meter races, only from competitions where the final result of the 500m is determined by the total time after 2 races.[2]
