* Women were first allowed to take part in the tour proper in 1985; before then they had to skate with the amateurs and no award was given.
** After shared wins in 1933 and 1940, when the front-runners decided not to compete but join hands to cross the line together, this practice was forbidden by the organisation.

They were not disqualified, but no winner was declared.
