MILAN — Jordan Stolz bends minds. The closer you get to his pace, the faster he seems. Canadian speed skater Laurent Dubreuil crushed his 500-meter final Saturday night; he said later that if he skated that race four years ago, “then I probably have gold.” His time of 34.26 seconds was the best in Olympic history. Think of how good that must have felt.
“It’s a feeling,” Dubreuil said. “Somebody told me, ‘Man, you have an Olympic record!’ In my mind, I was like, ‘Yeah. Not for long, probably.’ ”
