About this listen
Jordan Stolz has made headlines yet again, dominating the ISU World Cup opener in Salt Lake City this past weekend. According to NBC Sports, Stolz won gold in all three of his individual events: the 1000m, 500m, and 1500m, with his 1500m time just 0.31 seconds short of the current world record held by Kjeld Nuis. Finishing with a burst of speed in the last stretch, Stolz showcased his enduring stamina and control, even sharing after the race that with fresher legs he felt he could have pushed toward the elusive world record itself. ISU Skating and NBCOlympics both highlighted how Stolz remains in a league of his own, although he ceded his junior world record in the 1500m to the rising 18-year-old German Finn Sonnekalb. Stolz graciously congratulated Sonnekalb, joking about age differences and speaking highly of the new talent, signaling Stolz’s supportive presence within the sport.
Washington County Insider reports that Stolz has officially announced he will compete in four events at the upcoming 2026 Olympic Games—adding the mass start to his usual program of the 500m, 1000m, and 1500m. His coach, Bob Corby, admitted some nerves about the decision but noted that Stolz’s versatility and fitness could make for a historic run. Legendary skaters Eric Heiden and Shani Davis weighed in, expressing confidence in Stolz’s talent and even suggesting he could compete strongly in the longer distances, but his Olympic slate now centers on speed and endurance rather than marathon events. Corby emphasized that Stolz must still qualify for the mass start and accrue enough points over the season to make the Olympic roster for that discipline. Stolz was set to test his mass start racing skills in Salt Lake City on Sunday, November 16, making this a pivotal moment for his Olympic ambitions.
On the social media front, Stolz’s own presence remains understated, but as noted by Spreaker’s Jordan Stolz – Biography Flash, public interest in his new events and dominance has ramped up. While he isn’t personally flooding feeds with content, the algorithmic tides of social chatter, amplified by media coverage from NBC, ISU, and Team USA, have cemented Stolz as a must-follow figure leading into the Olympic year. No major controversies or off-ice dramas have emerged; the story is all about athletic achievement and expanding the boundaries of what one speed skater can accomplish.
