US speedskater Jordan Stolz has set a new Olympic record in the men’s 1,000 metres at the Milan Cortina Games, securing his first gold medal and signalling his intent for a remarkable four-gold Winter Olympics.
The 21-year-old from Wisconsin clocked an impressive 1 minute, 6.28 seconds, eclipsing the previous Olympic standard that had stood since 2002 – before Stolz was born.
