My Take
I genuinely cannot believe Jordan Stolz is a kid from West Bend, Wisconsin who basically rewrote the record books before he could legally rent a car. He burst onto the international scene at the 2023 World Single Distances Championships by winning the 500m to become the youngest single-distance world champion ever, and then — just to make sure nobody thought it was a fluke — he became the first male skater to sweep three individual golds at a single Worlds, a feat he repeated in 2024. Back-to-back Oscar Mathisen Awards, an Olympic gold medal, and he was still a teenager for most of it. His starts are explosive, his composure under pressure is eerie for his age, and he skates like someone who genuinely has no idea he's supposed to be nervous. The next decade of speed skating is basically going to be written around what this guy does next.
