Jutta Leerdam of the Netherlands has good reason to celebrate a day after she set an Olympic record in the women’s 1000m speed skating event for her first gold medal. A day later, she did a “diva” dance set to Beyoncé.

The 27-year-old Leerdam entered the 2026 Milano Cortina Games having won silver in the event in the 2022 Beijing Games, and is a seven-time world champion.
