Jordan Stolz wins his second Olympic speedskating gold medal
Jordan Stowles was 5 years old when he saw speed skating on TV during the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. Seeing his fascination, his father bought him *** pair of skates, and the rest is history. Jordan Stowes is coming in hot, red hot. The 21-year-old from Milwaukee won all five of his races this month at the World Cup and enters 2026 riding *** nine-race win streak. And he’s not only crossing the finish line first, he’s breaking track records. Yeah, this is the best I’ve ever skated, and I’m in *** good spot right now going into the. The youngest member of the speed skating team at the 2022 games in Beijing, Stolles was just 17 years old, *** true newcomer to the world of international racing. Not anymore. The last couple of years I’ve been able to, you know, learn and gain more experience in traveling overseas, right, and dealing with jet lag and nutrition type things and supplements. I wasn’t that big into it when I was, you know, 17, and the jet lag was. Kind of an issue, but now I’ve kind of managed that. He can also manage being in the spotlight. Stoles is *** featured athlete in the promotion of the Milan Cortina Olympics, and he even shares the small screen with A-list movie star Glenn Powell. Well, the reaction from everybody was pretty big cause it’s Glenn Powell, right? And I’m just *** speed skater, but yeah, it was nice to put us two together. But they weren’t together. They filmed their scenes separately and Hollywood magic did the rest. So, I hope to meet him, yeah, and say that was *** nice commercial we did. Yeah. And Powell may really want to meet Stoles if he makes history. In Italy, he can become only the 2nd American to win 3 or more gold medals at *** single Winter Olympics. Fellow speed skater Eric Haydn won 5 golds at the 1980 Lake Placid Games. On the road to Milan Cortina, I’m Fletcher Mackle.

Both times, the silver went to Jenning de Boo of the Netherlands, who clocked 33.88 in the shortest speedskating event. Both times, they raced head-to-head in the same heat.Stolz was leading Wednesday as they came out of the final curve, then they were even entering the last stretch. But Stolz, who overcame a deficit in the 1,000, turned on the speed and leaned across the line first again in the 500. De Boo slipped and fell into the wall afterward, while Stolz skated past and shook his right fist overhead.Canada’s Laurent Dubreuil got the bronze in 34.26.
