Jordan Stolz set a new Olympic record of 1:06.28 in the men's 1,000m speed skating, securing the U.S. its fourth gold at the Milano-Cortina Games.
- Jordan Stolz, 21-year-old U.S. speed skater, won the men's 1,000m at Milan with an Olympic-record 1:06.28, finishing 0.50 seconds ahead of Jenning de Boo.
- Stolz, who took up speed skating after watching Apolo Ohno, endured bouts of illness and a June training bike crash before competing in Milan.
