American Jordan Stolz wins 2nd speedskating gold at Winter Olympics

  • On Saturday, Jordan Stolz, the U.S. speed skater, set an Olympic-record 33.77 seconds in the 500-meter event, winning his second gold of these Games.
  • The 21-year-old, competing in his second Olympics, won the 1,000 meters on Wednesday, the first of his four individual events at Milan-Cortina.
  • Racing in the 13th of 15 two-man heats, Stolz beat reigning 500 world champion Jenning de Boo, who slipped into the wall after the finish, while Laurent Dubreuil got bronze in 34.26 seconds.
  • Only the second man to complete the 500–1,000 double, Jordan Stolz, U.S. speed skater, joins Eric Heiden and ends a 24-year U.S. 500-gold drought since Casey FitzRandolph in 2002.
  • With two events left, Jordan Stolz, U.S. speed skater, is limiting training to rest and recovery, and he said `I think this was a good prep because you kind of know what to expect,` a view endorsed by Bob Corby, Stolz's coach.
