 Jordan Stolz Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Jordan Stolz has spent the past few days turning a World Cup weekend in Heerenveen into his personal highlight reel and, quite possibly, a defining chapter in his pre‑Olympic biography. According to the International Skating Union, on Friday he smashed the five‑year‑old 1500 meter track record at Thialf, stopping the clock at 1 minute 42.55 seconds, beating the old mark of Dutch star Kjeld Nuis by nearly half a second and extending an unbeaten streak in the distance this season. ISU reports that Nuis himself, the previous record holder and double Olympic champion, called Stolz “a phenomenon” and joked that the American is skating “from another planet,” a quote that is already being recycled across international coverage and will likely be remembered when people look back on Stolz’s dominance in this period.

Video from local Dutch and U.S. outlets shows the 21‑year‑old American staying patient through the early laps against home favorite Joep Wennemars, then detonating a brutal final 700 meters, executing what coach Bob Corby described to ISU as “how to skate 1500 version 10,” a race plan they keep reinventing as rivals scramble to keep up.

Within the last 24 hours, NBC Sports and other Olympic broadcasters have amplified a second major headline from the same venue: Stolz has now broken a second Thialf track record, this time in the 1000 meters, cutting roughly six‑tenths of a second off the old mark previously held by Dutch skater Jenning de Boo and taking another World Cup gold. NBC Sports characterizes the weekend as a statement that he is arriving at the Milano Cortina Olympic season as the man to beat across all sprint distances, not just a one‑race specialist.

The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee’s recent media summit materials frame Stolz as a seven‑time world champion and world record holder “returning to the Games with something to prove,” a narrative sharpened by his own comments to Reuters last month that he is “way better” than he was at his first Olympics and expects a medal if he delivers a perfect race. Those same Reuters interviews revealed he came into this season off pneumonia, strep throat, and a gruesome training crash that split his shin to the bone, making this week’s record spree look less like inevitability and more like a comeback flex.

There are no credible reports of off‑ice controversy, business deals, or flashy social media antics in the past few days; Stolz remains notably low‑profile online, letting times on the oval speak for him while federation and broadcaster accounts do the posting. Any rumors of big sponsorship announcements tied directly to this Heerenveen weekend are, for now, speculation and not confirmed by team officials or major outlets.
