Jutta Leerdam of the Netherlands set an Olympic record in the women’s 1000m speed skating event at the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games on February 9, which was enough to earn her a gold medal.

The 27-year-old secured a silver medal at the 2022 Beijing Games and is a seven-time world champion, but now has that once-elusive gold medal hanging around her neck, which is something nobody can ever take away from her.

While Leerdam is already a big international star in her own right, her star power has increased tenfold in the United States because of her engagement with Jake Paul, who is arguably the most famous American boxer in the world right now.

Paul is fresh off getting knocked out by Anthony Joshua on Netflix at the end of December. And this brutal injury came at a relatively good time, given that he could focus on his fiancée's Olympic run.
