Jordan Stolz Biography Flash a weekly Biography.
Jordan Stolz is rapidly shaping up as one of the defining figures of the upcoming Olympic speed skating season. Just yesterday, the International Skating Union highlighted how Stolz now leads a new generation eyeing glory at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan. As the most decorated American speed skater of his age, Stolz’s trajectory has only accelerated since his top-15 finishes in the 500m and 1000m at the 2022 Olympics in Beijing. Since then, he’s shattered records – Stolz remains the only athlete ever to clinch the 500m, 1000m, and 1500m titles at both the 2023 and 2024 World Single Distance Championships, plus a World Allround title in Inzell last year. According to NBC Olympics, his dominance is felt both nationally and internationally and, not surprisingly, Stolz enters the 2025–26 World Cup season as the gold standard for Team USA.
Stolz’s performance is also turning heads in the legends’ circle. In a recent interview with WashingtonCountyInsider.com, five-time Olympic champion Eric Heiden called Stolz “a phenom” and lauded his prowess and mindset – especially in the 1000m, where Stolz currently holds the world record. Heiden confidently asserted Stolz’s ability to compete across sprints and middle distances, while highlighting the challenge posed by the longer distances, a sentiment echoed by former gold medalist Dan Jansen, who’s been closely watching Stolz’s gutsy finishes over the past season.
Looking at recent appearances, Stolz led a 10-medal haul at the World Cup opener in Nagano and grabbed three national titles at the U.S. Championships, positioning him as America’s brightest hope. His primary sponsor Albert Heijn Zaanlander ensures he’s well-supported, and Stolz continues to train at Milwaukee’s Pettit National Ice Center. Fans will be able to see him up close during the U.S. Olympic Team Trials at Pettit in January, which Stolz says will be “amazing” in front of his hometown crowd. Tickets for this event go public in early October, and interest is already surging.
On the philanthropic front, this August, Stolz donated an autographed photo and US flag to a benefit for flood victims. The raffle winner? Someone else named Jordan! Social media has remained lively, with Stolz’s Instagram account climbing past 14,000 followers in October, and his activities – like cycling, camping in Alaska, and hiking – routinely featured. Over the summer, Stolz suffered a leg injury in a training bike accident, but after receiving sixteen stitches, he’s made a complete recovery and his coach has assured fans the setback won’t impact future races.
As Olympians past and present keep their eyes on him, Stolz remains focused physically and mentally, telling local reporters his “body’s right where it needs to be.” With every international podium and community connection, he’s not just racing for medals but for lasting significance at the heart of American speed skating.
