À propos de cet audio
If you want the latest on Jordan Stolz, here’s your “Biography Flash.” The past few days have been a flurry of training, competition, and anticipation—with the energy at the Pettit National Ice Center in Milwaukee palpable as Stolz took part in pivotal time trials ahead of the 2025-26 ISU speedskating season. The Olympic hopeful drew crowds in his distinct white-skinned suit, powering through the 500 and 1000 meter benchmarks. While his 500 meter time of 34.99 was a touch off his February track-record pace of 33.91, and his 1000 meter lap splits (25 and 26 seconds) revealed fatigue from relentless training, Stolz was visibly pleased with his conditioning. He said his focus isn’t on setting fast times this early but sharpening his endurance for Milan 2026, firmly keeping long-term Olympic goals in view. Coach Bob Corby underscored that strategy, noting that October speed is a low priority compared to peaking in February.
Stolz often trains solo, a challenge he welcomes, insisting he gets more out of pushing himself instead of relying on racing partners—a point Corby echoed, saying few skaters anywhere can truly challenge him. From here, Stolz is headed to Salt Lake City for crucial trials to build the U.S. team for the first four World Cup events. His spot is effectively secure, but the meet will help gauge readiness for a season where national expectations are sky-high.
The official U.S. speed skating team for the 2026 Olympics will be named in January, but NBC Olympics calls Stolz a “medal favorite,” and with seven World Championship titles and current world record holder status in the 1000m, anticipation could hardly be higher. After a tough bout with illness last spring and a dramatic leg injury over summer, both of which he’s fully overcome according to local and national sources, Stolz spent the off-season doubling down on physical conditioning and strengthening his immune system.
Media day in New York is coming up this week, amplifying the buzz, and ticketing for Olympic Trials in Milwaukee opens soon—a hometown showcase fans are eagerly awaiting. Stolz’s social media has spotlighted his training intensity, gratitude for community support, and occasional behind-the-scenes glimpses, generating plenty of excitement on Twitter and Instagram where fans speculate on his World Cup prospects and Olympic medal chances.
No major headline broke in the past twenty-four hours, but the dominant storyline is Stolz’s unwavering focus, his solo work ethic, and the building anticipation for Salt Lake City and Milan. Many sports analysts are positioning him as America’s best hope on ice—barring injury or illness—with his personal charm and resilience bolstering that narrative.
