Georg Philip Hertzberg Krog (2 July 1915 – 6 August 1991) was a Norwegian Olympic speed skater and lawyer.
He received a silver medal at the 1936 Winter Olympics in Garmisch-Partenkirchen.[1] It was later noted that gold medallist Ivar Ballangrud probably was clocked in a second too early, something which could have cost Krog the gold medal.[2] At the 1937 World Allround Speed Skating Championships Krog won the 500 m distance in 42.9 seconds.
Krog was born in Bergen,[1] and was a great-grandson of Hans Jensen Krog.[3] He represented the clubs Drammens SK, Gimsøy IF and Oslo SK.[2] He chaired the Norwegian Skating Association from 1961 to 1965.[4] After his speed skating career he worked as a barrister.[2]
